We had a great stay at Aitan's place. It was a pretty unit on a safe street, which was perfect for my trip with my mom and younger sister. You're within walking distance to many public transportation options that allows you to easily explore Brooklyn and Manhattan without dealing with the crush of NYC at all hours. Aitan was very responsive and accommodating during our visit.
If you're a light sleeper, I would recommend ear plugs since the kids upstairs are early risers. Don't miss Ample Hills or Little Cupcake Bakeshop for some great treats only s couple blocks away.
