We enjoyed our stay here and Carlos was very helpful and chatty. The basement has a real character and vintage charm. Rodgewood is right on the border to Brooklyn so was easy to explore Queens and Brooklyn.
The only downside are that it was a little dark as there's very little natural light (to be expected) and that you have to go up into the main house to shower. Neither was a big problem as we only stayed 2 nights. Thank you!
