Great location close to center of Brooklyn, five minutes from subway and shopping, but on a quiet street with park nearby. Apartment was very clean, looked newly renovated, tastefully decorated. Single room in semibasement with window to street and AC. Bathroom is shared with other guests, but kept in top condition. There's also a small shared garden. The host Doug is friendly, and is usually around. He gave good tips for places to eat and how to get around.
