Excellent stay. We were looking for a private room near a specific spot in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (a mostly-quiet, safe area with a lot of young families) and this filled the bill admirably. Summer was a charming host, but we were left mostly in privacy, as we preferred. Though she lived downstairs from us in a basement apt., things were eerily quiet, to the point that we didn't know if she was at home when we came in. Never any shared-bathroom/kitchen conflicts or gridlock, even in the morning.

Everything was scarily clean and neat, and well arranged. I liked the individual high-intensity bedside reading lamps, focused so as not to disturb one's partner, and the bed had a nice firm mattress. Our bedroom opened out to a cool, shady back yard with some nice flowers (Summer's work), stately trees (probably not her work), and comfy Adirondack-ish chairs. Though it's not shown in her pictures, Summer has a full-size fridge and there was ample room inside to store our OJ, milk, etc. She also confesses to being the only non-coffee-drinker "within a 100-mile radius," so if you need coffee to wake up, bring your own coffee and maker, or take a short stroll to one of the nearby coffee shops. Tea, OTOH, is available in profusion in her cabinet. There's also a pretty-well-stocked Met Food mini-supermarket right across the street, as is large, shady, kid-swarming Monsignor McGolrick Park.

Highly recommended!
