Brooklyn Hospitality ... Good Karma :)))
Review Submitted: October 4, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
We found Zen on the internet after several searches for hotels etc when we were planning our trip to NYC. We found Zen to be a very economical option and upon arrival we found our hostess (Jaleelah) to be very friendly and helpful in getting us settled and making us feel welcomed and relaxed. The apts were quite spacious, well apointed and very clean and we really felt like we were staying at our own place since we basically had the whole two upper levels to ourselves. The neighbourhood is quite trendy and comfortable and we felt very much at ease no matter where we were. There are a lot of local 'mom and pop' restuarants withing 5-20 mins walking distance serving up anything from west african, caribian, mexican and cuban cuisine to pizza. Local deli's (try Provisions on Fulton) and organic markets provide the staples. Do try Choices, Not Rays Pizza, Soule, Deniz's and Habana Outpost (ask Jaleelah for locations but all are within walking distance). In addition the subway is one block away then your 30 mins from Times Square and about 40 mins to Coney Island and Birghton Beach and 25 mins to Bedford / Wiliamsburg in Queens. If you've never been to NYC before you are in for a real surprise ... the people are very friendly and you'll always get help if you need directions or want a good recommendation on where to eat.
We would definately stay at Zen again.
