I wanted to stay in Brooklyn for a few nights and it was great for a budget trip for someone who’s somewhat familiar with urban living with diverse people. If you’re older 35+ years this probably isn’t ideal or if you have specific tastes or needs as you’ll be sharing common spaces with other travelers in their early/mid-20s who can be messy or leave their hair and crap on surfaces and in trash bins. Flatbush is a great place to get some good Caribbean food. The walk from the train station at church Av isn’t a pain if you’re somewhat fit but at night I’d advise a Uber or bus 35 in between. Overall it was a good spot
