Heather's place is exactly as advertised and then some. She and her husband are very hospitable, friendly, and responsive. The house is quiet and comfortable and your room is an oasis in an otherwise loud, crowded, and gritty city. The place is a short walk to and from the J and Z trains which connect conveniently at Broadway Junction to Manhattan and beyond (I think there's even a connection to the Long Island Railroad at B'way Jct). I walked around quite a bit at all times of the day and night and never once felt unsafe. It's an ethnic neighborhood with interesting foods, a classic diner not too far away, and groceries nearby. The kitchen space is very convenient and the complimentary cereal milk oftentimes hits the spot. Be sure to read Heather's listing fully — she has dogs. If you're a dog lover, you'll appreciate coming home to welcoming sniffs and tail wags every day in Cypress Hills. I would definitely recommend this place and I hope to stay there again if my travels bring me to Brooklyn again.
