Kristen and Jeffrey's place is a great base for a stay in Brooklyn. The room is small and the day bed has a pull out bed underneath. If you have a lot of luggage it may be a bit of a squeeze but it was fine and did the job for us. The bathroom is next door to the bedroom but is just for the use of the guests. We were offered the option of using the kitchen facilities although we didn't need to as we were out early to late each day and ate out.
There is a subway station around 10 minutes walk from the house which takes you directly into Manhattan in 20 - 30 minutes depending on where you want to go. It also offers a change at an interchange within 5 minutes to get you to other parts of Brooklyn. There are lots of local shops (mainly small, independent grocery/liqour stores) and a number of take aways but not much in the way of restaurants. As mentioned though, a short subway ride will take you to places where you can access this such as around Barclay Centre etc.
Kristen and Jeffrey were great hosts. We didn't see much of them but when we did they were very helpful with suggestions etc. They also kindly let us store our bags on our last day so we could pop back for them and freshen up before leaving. All in all we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again.
