The room Austine rents is great for a busy weekend trip. It is easy to find the building from the metro, which is about 8-10 minutes away, and Austine's instructions for check-in are clear. The room has windows that look onto the street and blinds that are easily drawn. It has a space heater should you need it, and the bedding is comfortable. It is right next to the bathroom and kitchen, so you can easily use the restroom or get yourself some water.
The neighborhood is cute, and the neighbors seems fairly tight-knit. It may take a transfer to get to a specific neighborhood across Brooklyn via subway, but I never needed a transfer to get to where I was going in Manhattan or coming from Manhattan.
