I was visiting my kids in Crowne Heights and wanted to stay nearby. This was a very affordable, basic (comfortable but not fancy) room, comfortable bed, cool view of fire escapes out the window, shared bathroom, easy come-and-go, etc. Amazing location near Brooklyn Museum and gorgeous Brooklyn Library and Prospect Park and subway into Manhattan. I did not use the kitchen or living room because I was out with my kids all the time, but the kitchen seemed fine and the living room is kind of charming.
