We were on vacation for a week as guests of Brooke and Jonathan and really enjoyed our stay.
They are a very nice couple, kind, nice, helpful and respectful. They are smart people who are fashinating by their many interests.
Benson, the dog, is quiet and very affectionate.
The apartment is really loving and the floor plans create a welcoming and relaxing environment, it feels like home.
The area is well connected via Halsey st. a two minute walk. There is also another stop nearby, about ten minutes away, which connects to other underground lines. In 15 minutes you can reach the most central areas of Brooklyn such as Greenpoint while in 30 you reach the lower part of Manhattan with the direct line J without changes. Using the "Lift" app which currently works best in NY for cars we took the taxi several times and the price seemed fair considering the distances.
The area is quiet, we didn't have any problems but we didn't walk back too late at night, we always did early. It is residential and the house street in particular has a good neighborhood. A stone's throw from the house there is a very nice bar, "September", for having breakfast. The food is of quality, also croissants, and is popular with many young people. By taking a 10 or 20 min walk you can reach some good places to eat.
We recommend this house and their welcoming family to everyone :)
