Karen's is just the perfect place for anyone visiting New York looking for a place to crash. Right from booking to check out - seamless experience. Easily accessible (3 min walk from Av P of F line), very cozy, residential area, safe and unexplainably neat. You get more than what you paid for considering the options in the vicinity. I booked the living couch but the private room was available and Karen proactively offered me to take it up. Had the whole room for myself. The day I landed, freshened up and headed to Manhattan at 10.00pm. She helped with directions and handed keys for me to be back whenever I wanted. She chats with you but also realizes you need your space. All in all - a good find if you are looking to just spend couple of nights. Not much to do in the neighbourhood. 10 mins walk to Kings Highway towards Manhattan since due to work Av P was not functional. Will definitely be back. Super host and great place.
