The accommodation is as described. It is basic, but satisfactory, and good value. The journey to Manhattan can take anything from 40 minutes to an hour, depending on where you are heading, but that’s all part of the adventure!
Jaqui was a lovely host, and accommodated an extra guest at short notice. If you are travelling with others be aware that, as described, there is a shower curtain separating the sleeping area from the shower/toilet so you will get to know each other’s habits fairly well!
It was an authentic Brooklyn experience.
