What a difference that extra room makes - it’s almost like your own apartment. Gya is a fantastic host and was super fast to respond to any and all questions. For anyone who may be concerned about the neighborhood (Crown Heights doesn’t get the best press) DON’T BE. I walked to work for months from this spot, often past the Albany housing projects, and never once did I sense or see malice or danger. In fact, I’ve been living all over Crown Heights for more than a year now and I’ve never had cause for concern. One always has to be smart in any urban environment, for sure, but this area isn’t even ‘shady’.
