This is where I fell in love with Brooklyn! My husband and I were visiting NY to celebrate his birthday. We wanted to stay in a nice area that was also convenient for walking to the subway. This location was perfect. It's in a safe and quiet neighborhood located in the Downtown Brooklyn/Crown Heights neighborhood with many different types of stores and restaurants within walking distance. We found one restaraunt that stayed open until 5am. There is also an organic food store that sells healthy items including delicious meals that are reasonably priced. We visited two of the local bars. One offered great live music. The apartment looks exactly as pictured. The bed and pillows are so comfortable you won't want to leave. John and Trilla provided free snacks (such as water, juice, soda, yogurt and bagels), free internet and prime cable channels. The air-conditioning felt great and cooled the room quickly. John's warm hospitality and pleasant personality made us feel right at home. This is definitely five star quality and we would love to stay here again!
