I hate to write this review because everyone will know where to stay in Brooklyn and we may not get to stay here when we want to come back. We stayed two nights in the apartment on the third floor and came back to stay two nights in the comfortable room on the second floor. Both were wonderful accommodations although, of course, the less expensive room was smaller. What makes these accommodations so enjoyable are the personalities of the hosts. Carol gave us the keys each time, asked if we needed anything, showed us how to work the TV, etc. We also met Joy and Beverly who helped us know more about the neighborhood and made us feel at home in this gorgeous renovated brownstone. The hosts are careful to leave written instructions for the internet, the car service, and their phone numbers.
P.S. There are a variety of small restaurants around DeKalb. Great bagels and coffee each morning at Tillie's. Grocery store on the same block. Farmer's Market on Saturday at Ft. Greene Park. We took beautiful walks in Ft. Greene Park and Prospect Park (remember Frederick Law Olmsted of Central Park fame) nearby. We also spent a great deal of time in Manhattan, but why would anyone stay there when they can have Brooklyn?
