Brian is a lovely host. The location of his place is a bit far out of the area where one can experience the Cafe culture so inherent to Brooklyn.It is also far from many of the sites listed in the description. I Uber'd most EVERYWHERE. I did walk to and from the station. I would caution female travellers who are traveling alone to think twice about the location. Proximity to a subway stations is more or less a good walk. In the Summer the walk may not bother one too much BUT in the winter it may present a problem and the neighbourhood one is in and must walk through to get to the subway is not in my opinion, desirable as well. The room and the apartment are both very nice. and comfy. For the record - I hated writing this review because Brian is such a nice man. BUT I would want to have/know this information before booking.
