I enjoyed my stay with Hyacinth. Best host I ever had so far. She makes sure you never go hungry every morning by buying you muffins and croissants. She also provides water bottles for you. Her son Ricardo is very helpful and friendly as well. Her place is around a quiet neighbourhood in Brooklyn but it's walking distance away from bus stops, a pharmacy, and a laundry, so everything is very accessible. She also offers to buy you dinner on the last night of your stay. There's no better host that you can ask for and I highly recommend her place.
