Cynthia’s apartment was so charming and very close to several train stations - J/Z at Gates, L at Myrtle-Wyckoff, and M at Knickerbocker-Myrtle. All were within about a 12 minute walk, so it was easy to get around Brooklyn and into Manhattan. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and Cynthia and her son gave me a lot of privacy, even though they live in the apartment. They also have a very cute and cuddly cat (I would not stay here if you are allergic). I really appreciated the flexible self check-in and was given a key to come and go as needed. Keep in mind the room does not have air conditioning or windows, so it may be warm in the summer, though I was provided with a powerful fan that helped keep the room cool at night. Additionally, there is a skylight in the room that is not covered, so the sun will wake you up early in the morning - this can be avoided if you bring a sleeping mask to cover your eyes (I ended up buying one after the first night). All said, this place was a great value and I really enjoyed my 5 night stay.
