First and foremost my stay was 5 star without a doubt, nothing I am saying in this review is any way a critique or negative - just things to consider when looking at this listing. Lets start with the space itself; the room is perfect for one or two, the bed is a soft memory foam mattress - so it sleeps hot and may not work for those in need of more support (especially with all the walking you will do in this city). There is a cooling unit which works great, just close the door and let it run for about ten minutes and the room will be nice and cool and stays that way for quite a while. The bathroom is small and basic, good for one person at a time. The sink seems to leak a little around the base of the faucet for both temps. Shower works great and will get very hot. The cat is very kind and tends to itself and didn't once come back to where the room is. As someone who has slight cat allergies I was cautious about dander but Anderson does a great job of keeping the ENTIRE place clean and free of dander and I had no problem with my allergies. The breakfast prepared EVERY MORNING, is promptly delivered to the door around 8am; so if you do not desire a wholesome breakfast, that will definitely tie you over until lunch, you may want to communicate that ahead of time. Anderson's place is located in East Flatbush which is not a gentrified area of Brooklyn; that was perfect for me but may not work for others. For those who are using the public transit system, which is a fantastic way to save money while visiting NYC, this place is next to a few major bus routes, and within a few miles of some subway stations as well. I visited each borough during my stay with ZERO issues getting around. The corner store was super inexpensive, I recommend it but use cash in there. Also within a couple of blocks are great amenities, for laundry I used the place Anderson recommended (6 Star Laundromat & Dry Cleaners). If you're in need of a barber I recommend Webb's Barbers, one of the best haircuts I've ever had ( I am a Marine Veteran so i know something about haircuts) and at $12 that price is hard to beat vs other major cities. For eats within a couple of blocks I would try Kennedy Fried Chicken (a local staple chain), Joyce's (Jamaican cuisine), and Eats Delicious Bakery and Restaurant. Anderson as a host went above and beyond any expectation I could have of an AirBnB host. She is truly someone who enjoys hosting and takes great pride in being helpful, kind, and accommodating. If this is your first time staying with a host she is going to set the bar very high. Overall I would recommend this listening to people whom I know, and I hope anyone who stays here after me has a similar positive experience. My stay: 12-19 June 2019
