It is a nice "garden apartment" -- set 1/2 below street level -- with double paned windows that block street noise. It probably has always been something like an Airbnb -- not a private residence being shared part time -- but it has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. It is well located on the edge of Fort Greene Park, with a fun Saturday farmers market. The owners are very responsive (I ran out of shower gel and a replacement bottle was rapidly delivered). Good value for a pleasant Brooklyn stay.
