I stayed at Ron's apartment for 9 nights. The apartment is situated very close to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (which has free entry on a Friday between 8am to 12pm), Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. It was about a 7 minute walk to the subway (I used the Brooklyn Museum stop) for the 2 & 3 lines which take you straight into downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. The neighborhood was pleasant and felt safe. I walked alone at night without any issues from the subway, as the street is well lit and frequented by runners and people walking their dogs (I wouldn't walk from the Franklin Street station at night though). The apartment itself was secure and the building has surveillance cameras in the hallways. There are elevators. The room was exactly as advertised. The apartment had a shared bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom was very clean. I didn't use the kitchen much at all. The space in the room was brilliant. I felt like I could really relax and not trip over things.The room doesn't have a door as such as it has been converted from the lounge room, but it has a curtain and board that easily slides. The bed was very comfortable and I slept very well. The TV was great. There is an air conditioner and heating. There's a laundromat just around the corner. The best place to buy groceries is less than 5 minute walk away and is well stocked with fresh produce, and usual grocery items. Ron is a wonderful host. He's very friendly and welcoming. I am a solo woman traveler and I always felt perfectly safe in the apartment and the neighbourhood. Ron wasn't home much and when he was he was respectful and quiet. Having said that, others in the apartment building were not so much. Some nights there was music blaring from somewhere. I used earplugs which helped a lot. Ron's apartment scored highly on so many levels. I definitely recommend the room.
