Met with Brenda's son Brandon. He was great and gave us a good orientation of everything on arrival. The duplex is huge and more than happily fit the 8 of us with room to spare! With lots of bathrooms, even that wasn't a problem. The rooms are so clean with plenty of fresh towels and blankets, it even had it's own self contained cupboard/tea/coffeemaking facilities/microwave and fridge which i didn't expect. Having multiple keys were essential as there were so many of us and was happy to find 2 keys for each individual room. The area of Brooklyn is very safe and LOTs of great places to eat only a short walk away. The subway is about 10-15mins walk but we usually grabbed breakfast at the diner on the way. Would definitely stay again if in a large group!
