Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in a traditional Brooklyn brownstone, The Unlikely Friend is a recently remodelled, ground floor home with a unique balance of modern luxuries, traditional architectural features and unique artwork. Your hosts are not only talented artists themselves, they're also a delight to stay with, making sure you have everything you need for a relaxing trip. The nearest subway station is a two-minute walk away, but even better is the well-kept garden in the back, ideal for long summer days.

Walk along the beautiful Clinton Avenue or the main retail corridor, Myrtle Avenue, and you’ll find young parents pushing strollers, artists in paint-splattered clothes, and students enjoying an alfresco meal. You’ll find a greater diversity of architectural styles...
