This place made me fall in love with Brooklyn. It was private and convenient. I am so happy we chose Anita's place. There is a deli on every corner in Brooklyn and Anita's place is 2 minutes away from two on either end of the block.
So, here's a rundown of the conveniences:
Deli
Laundromat
99 cent store
Barber
Bus stop
Hospital
Train station
Pharmacy
All in walking distance!!
Then the supermarkets, shopping centers and eating places are also close by. You could walk...but dont, its 21 minutes of walking and you cant walk back With the things you will purchase.
The apartment looks just like the pictures. If you are squirmish about sharing bathroom, buy a bottle of lysol bathroom cleaner and spray as you go. Also, clean up afrer yourself when you use the bathroom.
Didn't have any problems With the host. Enjoyed a few beers on the front step and met a few great people. Also enjoyed the block party. We were right at home and it was a 21 days well spent
Oh, one more thing, if you drive, reach home early so you can get parking on your block. Otherwise, you will have to drive around and find parking on another block. That became part of the vacation experience...the hunt for parking or the excitement when someone drives off and parking becomes available.
