We had a great time in NY staying at Lisa´s place. It is cozy and has everything you need to cook a breakfast or a light meal, it is spacious for a couple and Lisa is very helpful and quick to response to any of our questions or needs. The surrounding area is safe even late at night and very pretty with all the flowers blooming. The closest subway is about 10 mins away. Manhattan is about 45 mins away. There are several supermarkets and eateries around the neighborhood. It is a a great place for traveler that knows his way around new york transportation system or travelers that wishes to explore the Brooklyn area.
