This is an amazing place to stay. The room has all you need, most importantly a soft bed (and a good shower) after a long day wandering through NYC, incl. A/C in the summer and a heater during the winter. The building itself is wonderful, the historic details/value.. loved all of it. Located within 15 min of 2 subway stations (closest one just 5 min away) and some nice restaurants all within a walkable distance.
Even though I met Emily only once briefly, she responded quickly regarding a few questions on my arrival day. And her detailed welcome letter provided enough info to get me going in brooklyn.
If there is one tiny thing to note, then it's the lively neighbourhood which can be heard in the room. I'm used to this at home, so it didn't bother me but you may need earplugs :)
