We never really met Carol but her home is in a really nice, safe area with lots of restaurants and shops around. Fort Greene Park is a 2 min walk and it's about 10mins away from the C line.

The room was comfy and came with it's own ensuite, which is small but enough for us. There isn't kitchen access, so we used the bathroom taps for water. The only thing I would mention is that if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs because the street traffic travels to the room.

Carol is very responsive. When we first arrived there, the bathroom wasn't cleaned properly but when we mentioned this to Carol she responded straightway and had the room cleaned up, so it wasn't a big deal to us.

Overall, a pleasant stay in a very nice neighbourhood. Would recommend to others.
