Violette's place was just what we expected. It was in a great area. We walked over to the Brooklyn Botanical gardens one day and it was really close to subway stops to get to other parts of the city. It was really easy to find parking and there were a bunch of food places in the area. The room was nice. It was a decent size and really just had a bed, which is all we needed. She was really friendly. She's an artist so she was home the entire time and even asked us to take our photo for a project she was working on. The only minor complaint we had was that the room was sort of hot and we didn't have control of the air. Other then that, our stay was great.
