Ellen's studio in Brooklyn is small but cosy, perfect for travellers who are out roaming in the city during the day and need a comfy bed to sleep in and a small kitchen for quick dinner or breakfast. As the studio is in the basement, there is not much light coming in, but this also means that it won't warm up quickly on hot summer days (but if it happens, there is a nice mobile air-conditioning unit that does its job). We can say that it is clean, well equipped, wifi was fast and stable. Note that the bathroom is really tiny and can be uncomfortable for some. The location is excellent, with lovely houses, grocery stores within walking distance, a lot of cafes and restaurants around, quite a lively area, but not too noisy, fortunately. It felt safe to walk around after dark too. Getting in and out was easy, the description of the keys and doors provided was clear and enough. Ellen was a friendly host and very helpful. Although, unfortunately, we did not meet in person as she was in Europe during our stay, she was responsive, and only the time difference hindered our communication a bit, but this was neither her fault nor a big issue. All in all, we had a great time there, we can only recommend it.
