Marie-Line was great to work with. Very prompt! Though the room is listed as a private room, it was almost like having our own place. It's on the street level so no stairs involved. With the small kitchenette area, private bath, sitting area and desk, and TV it was really like having the entire place to ourselves. Cable TV and WiFi were great too. The location of the room at the front of the apartment meant that we could come and go at our leisure without encroaching on their living space. Perfect set up. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the spacious tiled shower was wonderful. We appreciated the coffee pot, stocked cabinets with coffee and tea basics, microwave and refrigerator so we could have a small breakfast in the room before heading out for the day. All in all it was a great set up for us. The location is close to numerous subway lines to get in and out of the city and easy walking distance to restaurants in the Brooklyn area. For us it was perfectly located within a few blocks of our son's place so we were within an easy walk, but not on top of him in his small NYC apartment. We would definitely stay at Marie-Line's place again on our next trip to the area.
