This is a very nice place to stay. We have been to about 10 places in AirbnB this past year and Finola and John's place is probably our favorite. The apartment is very comfortable, clean and functional. The location is excellent to explore Brooklyn and to get to Manhattan. Plenty of good restaurants around and good cultural offerings at BAM, the Brooklyn Museum and easy access to Manhattan. If you are around in the Spring and later do not miss the Botanical Garden. Our stay this time was during cold weather, so we missed that. Although the apartment is close to shops, restaurants, etc. it is quiet and we slept well during the 16 days of our stay ( a caveat- the apartment is a garden apartment, bright but occasionally we can hear sounds from the upper floor. Thus was not an issue for us.
