Dylana is very good at replying to texts quickly and giving advice about the local area or any problems that may arise. The place is clean, it is comfortable and functional and has character. The room I stayed in was much quieter than I had been expecting, I loved hearing the sounds of the neighbourhood, the music and streetlife. It was atmospheric and soothing somehow. It's not the kind of noise that is aggressive or intrusive. The area is interesting to wander around. I would recommend the Knickerbocker Deli near by, also the Brooklyn Vegan Cafe for coffee and a nice atmosphere . Dylana leaves a great list of recommended places to visit and eat in the local area.
One tip I would give is that there are 2 Dekalb Avenue subway stops. The nearest is on the L line. I made the mistake of getting off at the one on the Q line. I had about a 2 hour walk to the flat from there. It was great to see the area, there are some nice restaurants and cafes nearby, and I don't mind walking so it wasn't a problem, but if you are arriving late at night then it's worth being aware of this. I would definitely stay again.
