I had a wonderful time staying at Barbara's home. Really spacious and included a garden. As a solo traveller, I felt instantly comfortable/safe there and Barbara's communication -especially with check-in- was amazing. You have access to the J-Train a short walk away which will take you all the way to Manhattan, with Buses super close too. Was also within walking distance to places like Bushwick and Myrtle Avenue which has some great bars/thrift stores. Really recommend staying here!
