Rani and her family were great hosts! Very accommodating and responsive to requests for the room and questions about the amenities nearby. The room was simple, no frills, but comfortable and quiet. I cook and appreciated that the place has a fully functional kitchen with a great gas range. The shower is powerful, too!

The neighborhood is great! Pretty laid back, mostly families and a lot of churches, and there were so many kids playing in the street! The stores and restaurants on Fulton were great for the area - there's not a whole lot, but everything you need is close, from groceries to laundry to late night takeout (note: Roz's soul food place closes early but is worth it!). The A/C subway is also really close, with both C local and A express stops in walking distance, so if like me you're using the place as a place to sleep while doing things elsewhere all over the city during the day, this is a great setup.
