Pamela is an awesome host. She took an ample amount of time upon my arrival to explain the room arrangement and amenities. She checked-in regularly to make sure things were okay. Her place is a few minutes walk to the subway station. That said, it’s easy to go back and forth between Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn. Neighborhood is safe with some nice restaurants and small shops if you need a bite to eat or toiletries. Only downsides were the bed being a tad uncomfortable and the window in my room being difficult to close. It had been taped down (?) so I avoided touching it. Luckily, the weather was warm enough that there was no need to close it.
