I stayed for 6 weeks and would definitely stay again. The building is fantastic and most residents stick to themselves except for when you meet in the kitchen to cook. The neighborhood feels neglected, but I never felt unsafe. It’s a trek to get to the parts of Crown Heights with more restaurants, bars and sense of community. There is a gym close by and that’s a plus. I appreciated that hosts helped me out when a housemate’s service animal would not stop barking causing difficulty for focused work. They helped me move to another room without having to pay a transfer fee.
