This Fort Greene location is perfect. It's close to downtown Brooklyn with many places within walking distance. The street is very quiet but just around the corner is the vibrance and creative spirit of Brooklyn that everyone comes for. Lots of places to eat within walking distance and beautiful Fort Greene Park just half a block away. The G Subway line is also half a block away and can connect you to pretty much anywhere in New York city.
Doug was a great host. He is very welcoming and gave me a ton of places to see or do in the area. The house rules are very clear and communication was great. If there was anything I needed, Doug was very accommodating. He is truly a Superhost.
The room, the shared bathroom, and common areas are super clean and tidy. The front room I rented is huge but very comfortable. There is good natural light that comes in through the front windows but very secure and blacked out at night if needed. The room is very well decorated. There is beautiful original artwork throughout the space and lots of books to pass time if you need it. The bed was very comfortable and clean. There is even a beautiful yard to enjoy on a beautiful day.
Overall, this place is ideal location and has a terrific host. I looked at many other places in Brooklyn and lucked out on this one. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a room in a great Brooklyn location and not have to spend a small fortune.
