I am a medical student and I came to Brooklyn to do a clinical rotation at Kingsbrook Jewish Hospital. First off, this place is a mere block away from the hospital! I could not have asked for a better location. Demetria was kind in providing me with affordable housing during my 1 month stay in Brooklyn. She is very responsible, always easy to reach by cell, and works close enough to rush home any minute. I was greeted by Demetria and her two school-aged children who helped me move in. Everyone was friendly and courteous, and the youngsters are hands-down the most well-behaved kids I ever did meet! The room is exactly as portrayed and described. The house has been renovated and Demetria keeps it very clean: she regularly cleaned and even changed the bathroom rug at least every 2-3 days. There are absolutely no rodent or bug problems despite the building itself being old (one of the misgivings I have about old houses). The bedroom itself is more beautiful than the picture shows; it appears as though almost everything in it were brand new. Demetria goes the extra mile to ensure guest comfort - the mattress is very comfortable, the pillows hygienic, and the bedding is beautiful satiny Martha Stewart white quilts. The room is amenable to sleep/work/study all day in if one doesn't want to use the common areas, which are also tastefully decorated and open for use. While I was there, Demetria renovated part of the bathroom to include a handheld shower head that can be affixed to the wall. The bathroom is shared but I never had a problem with having to wait, everyone is courteous. The house is quiet inside and also located on a quiet residential street near the hospital and a school. There is a gym about a block away and the grocery store is practically next door. The metro station is about 10 minutes away walking and is a major stop. Demetria has a sophisticated outdoor camera system in place to ensure the safety of her guests and any packages that are dropped off during the day. In the morning, Demetria organizes breakfast for her guests and always leaves a tray out with the day's option (scrambled eggs, sausage, bagels, baked goods) and fresh coffee. She buys fresh bread and rolls from the farmers' market weekly and when I was there, she brought in bunches of fresh basil for all to use. All in all, I felt safe and at home here. Demetria was very helpful and knowledgeable about NYC, and took me sightseeing one day. I have seen her go above and beyond to help her guests, driving them to the train station etc. herself. I would strongly suggest this place to anyone staying in Brooklyn, whether a tourist or student, loner or social - the home atmosphere is supportive without ever being overbearing, and Demetria is a great hostess and friend.
