Banty was an amazing host for my first time in NY, gave lots of tips on how to use the subway and left lots of snacks at my room. In December's cold temperatures i was starting to feel sick and she offered some medicine. It was a very touching moment when they shared some of they Christmas food to me on Christmas day. She really is a very good person and a great host. The room is small but cozy and has everything you need, is really close to the subway station and in a cool neighborhood in lovely Brooklyn.
