Raquel was an excellent host! Very fast at responding to any of our questions.
The area was very convenient with lots of great cafes and restaurants. The train stations are only a 5 to 10 minute walk away, and we were in Manhattan within half an hour. The neighbourhood is diverse with different cultures but everyone is very friendly. We went out at 1 am the night we arrived to get some food and felt completely safe.
We would recommend staying here If you want to see Brooklyn and New York!
