Raj's place is in a great family oriented neighborhood with lots of cafes and restaurants close by. I had never been to this part of Brooklyn before and I really liked it! A short walk to trains and buses made it easy to move around city. And even by foot, there is lots to see and do within a 30 minute walk.
The room is small but comfortable. It has a desk and I had no problem working on my laptop. There is a TV, fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. It has a private entrance and bathroom so it's basically your own studio apartment, which is rare in Brooklyn for this price. The bathroom is clean and the shower has good pressure and gets plenty hot.
Raj is really nice and welcoming, and he checked in periodically to make sure I had everything I needed.
5 Stars! I hope to stay here again next time I'm in New York.
