Christine was very helpful when I checked in. The room is spacious, with a nice dresser and a very comfortable school desk which I used to work on my laptop. The immediate neighborhood is a little funky but also close to a great park. Crown Heights has lots of busses and the No3/4 Subway stop is at Utica, two short blocks away. it's a fairly quick ride into the city. Christine has thoughtfully provided a number of phamphlet guides to NYC. I'd stay here again.
