Transportation

The nearest subway is the L train at Morgan Avenue.  

Nearest buses include the B57 and B60.

Car services are available as well; numbers are posted in the apartment.

There is plenty of street parking.  Just watch for street cleaning days, when you’re not allowed to park on certain streets at certain times.  I would recommend parking on the busier streets.

There are several zip car sites within walking distance.

Arrival from the Airport

Car or taxi service is the most expensive option but will take you directly to the door.  Taxis (yellow) tend to be cheaper than private car companies (black).  Don’t forget to tip.

Shuttles can be arranged ahead of time with SuperShuttle.com.  This is a van that picks up and drops off several different people door-to-door but is a cheaper option than private car.

By public transportation, from JFK, you can take the Airtrain to the A train.  Change at Broadway Junction to the L train (toward Manhattan) to Morgan Ave.

From LGA, it’s really best if you take a car or taxi.

From EWR, you can take a bus to Port Authority, and then the A/C/E train downtown to 14th Street.  Transfer to the L train toward Brooklyn, and get out at Morgan Ave.

From EWR, you can also take the NJ Transit train to Penn Station and take the 1/2/3 or A/C/E train to 14th Street.  Transfer to the L train toward Brooklyn, and get out at Morgan Ave.

You can also check Hopstop.com for step-by-step directions.

Recommendations

We have many recommendations for restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. nearby.  Just ask!

Studio

The apartment is also our part-time art/design studio.  By staying here, you are supporting our work as artists and designers.

Hosts Rights

The host reserves the right to deny access to the apartment should the guest behave in any way that feels suspicious, harmful, dangerous, or disrespectful, or if the host feels unsafe.
