Roxannes place was perfect. Myself and Partner were coming to NYC for first time and wanted somewhere to be able to hang out in evening and sleep.
The place is very humble, and in great location with loads of nearby shops, restaurants & two metro stations (3+4 Trains & A + C Trains) that take you straight to Manhattan & Bronx. The A Train is twenty minute ride from the air train to jfk too ! We did lots of walking around Brooklyn too, prospect park isn't too far and the Brooklyn museum.
Lots of culture in Crowned Heights, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. We had no trouble, and felt really safe even when walking back lates nights from the city. Loads of great jamaican food in the area so check it out.
Honestly would recommend to anyone, if you want something real and to the point. It has everything you need, the room is spacious and has two dyson air fans so in the 32 degree heat last week we didn't have a bad night sleep. The bed is comfy too. Private storage in the bedroom, along with mini fridge/freezer. Bathroom is small but one of best showers i've ever had.
Roxanne is a great host, and wants to make sure everything is okay. She contacted me few times to make sure we had everything we needed and if we needed any suggestions for things to do.
Thanks for having us !
