My girlfriend and I stayed at Rodney's place for a week over Christmas. It was outstanding. The room has character and class. It is cozy. It has a great shower and a great bed, things you truly enjoy when you are traveling! And we were new to Brooklyn and New York, but right away found a local market we went to every morning for coffee and goods. We found local coffee shops. And the walk to the subway was very easy and very close. We went into the city every day and it was only about a 20 minute ride to Manhattan. We loved this room and the proximity to everything. And Rodney and Desmond were the best hosts ever. They just let us do our thing and yet were there at a moments notice by text for any questions we had.
