Kate is a very good host and very personable and responsive. This room is one of the larger and nicer ones I have stayed at. The inclusion of a private bathroom is a nice feature. The room is very well maintained and clean. Regarding the neighborhood, Bushwick does not offer many amenities in terms of banks, retail shopping and good restaurants. The subway is close however, so it is easy to get to downtown Manhattan or Williamsburg. I liked it here very much.
