Alan is awesome, very friendly, we felt welcome and comfortable, we were offered clementines after our long travel day, and their dog was very laid back.
The place itself was as advertised and cozy.
Neighborhood is nice and has a lot of cool cafes and restaurants, we really like the kolache place a few blocks from here. Be careful at the Bedford Nostrand stop though, there is a guy who frequently tries the “broken bottle scam” there.
