Lissett's place was great! I stayed with my son for almost three weeks and found the place to be a wonderful "hidden gem." First of all, the location cannot be beat. The neighborhood is super convenient to subway, bus lines, restaurants and shopping, ice cream parlors, and Prospect Park (Brooklyn's Central Park). It is only 1 1/2 blocks walk to 7th Avenue which is home to restaurants, bodegas, pharmacies, eclectic stores, etc. Even bike rentals are located about half a block away (a great way to experience the Park).
The neighborhood is also super quiet in spite of the train running literally under the front sidewalk: I barely heard it from inside, although one may feel the vibrations as the train runs by.
Potential guests should be aware that the unit is on the second floor of a traditional brownstone, so there are one flight of stairs to the entrance/lobby area and another set to the entrance of the unit. This may be an issue for someone with mobility problems. The unit itself is all one level. The subway stop is also the equivalent of 3 - 4 flights of stairs up and down and is not an "accessible" station. However, both F and G trains run through and it is very easy to get to Manhattan from here.
The bathroom is small but nicely updated and outfitted. The kitchen is large and well-equipped with large table and a washer/dryer closet located conveniently in the corner. Living areas are plentiful and spacious, especially the bright living room which faces the front street. One bedroom has a king bed and is located in an alcove which can be totally closed off from the main living areas, and the smaller bedroom has bunk beds. The hosts are very gracious and accommodating, and easy to reach in case of questions or concerns.
