The room is super cute, and had everything my daughter and I needed. The refrigerator was a godsend, as the first night we mistakenly ordered a HUGE meal from Carmine's (an AMAZING Italian restaurant in New York, NY), and had leftovers that literally lasted us the length of our trip.
The room was clean and welcoming, with bottled water waiting for us in the fridge (I drank TWO the first night after our trip to Manhattan!). There was a queen bed and a sofa-bed. My daughter ended up just sleeping on the sofa, and I slept on the bed. We were both super comfy! The street outside gets a little busy at night, but definitely not as loud as Manhattan, and the background noise of the A/C unit made it easy to fall asleep. One thing to note is that the bathroom is outside the room and down a short hallway, so be sure to bring some sort of jammies in case you need to use the bathroom during the night. There are a couple additional rooms on the same floor that share the bathroom (if they're occupied); however, there weren't any other guests there until the last day of our trip. That made it easy to use the bathroom whenever we wanted, but when/if other guests show up, you'll need to be aware that you're sharing the bathroom with them, too.
There's a TV in the room, which we never used. We literally woke up in the morning, went off to Manhattan, and came back at night for bed. I was warned by a friend before my trip to be very careful in Brooklyn, and to not ride the subway late at night because of how dangerous it is, and how dangerous Brooklyn is at night. However, the first night we inadvertently stayed later than planned in Manhattan because we were talked into comedy club tickets (lol!), and then we took the wrong train and ended up Uptown/Queens, so we didn't get back to Brooklyn until after midnight. The subway ride and the short walk to the house went just fine. We just smiled and waved at everyone! Haha. Seriously though, we were careful and aware at all times, but didn't have any issues at all. We found the people hanging out on our street at night to be friendly, or they just minded their own business. We never felt like we were in any danger.
Our plane back home was late in the afternoon, and Marylyn was gracious enough to keep our luggage in her hallway while we traipsed off to Manhattan one last time.
Overall we had an AMAZING trip! Marylyn was a spectacular host, and the room was just perfect for us, and a very short walk to the subway. If we ever visit again, I'd definitely try to get the same room with Marylyn! It was an incredible experience my daughter and I will never forget.
