Staying at Susan's place was wonderful! She was very accommodating with my arrival when my flight was delayed almost 4 hours. She gave great tips and places to see while traveling in and out of Brooklyn. As a female traveling to the city by myself, I felt very safe in her neighborhood and had the easiest access to all of the subway lines going into Manhattan. If you have an event at the Barclay center, her place is the perfect walking distance (about 4 mins). Definitely eat at Bergen Bagels across the street and enjoy your stay as much as I did! I highly recommend staying with Susan!
