I love the hosts, Christa and Zach. Very open & easy going. Christa provides a lot of good information on the city. Their space is cute! A 2nd floor walk up is nice in a town like NYC. The room is small but that's typical of the city. The a/c unit was helpful. Just one note to travelers: there's only one bathroom that is being shared by you (and potentially someone with you), the host couple and possibly even 1-2 other guests for the other Airbnb room. On my trip there were 5 of us sharing so in the morning especially there was a bit of a log jam but we were all courteous of each other's time which is important when you're wanting to explore a city like NY and factor in transportation time too.

The neighborhood is safe, lots of families, churches and shops. It's a neighborhood with lots of islanders so awesome Trinidad, Jamacian, and Dominican/Haitian food in the immediate surroundings. Also some great fruit markets I had fun exploring. As a solo female traveler I felt safe.

The 2 and 5 subway lines are just a few quick blocks away. The closest neighborhood that is gentrified is called Franklin Ave, just 3-4 stops down in Crown Heights. I also enjoyed hanging out at the restrants & shops there.

Overall I feel like Christa and Zach's space is a great value! I want to attend something at Kings Theater next time! That's an awesome historical theater that's close to this spot.
