Our stay at the home of Abigail and Chris was a wonderful experience. We had a party of 6 and there was plenteously of room for everyone and not just for sleeping. This living space accommodates a multitude of activities such as T.V. watching, people watching from the front stoop, back yard for grilling, a wonderful play room area where everyone enjoyed shooting pool and family ping pong tournaments. All the comforts of home were available with extras including welcome snacks, extra blankets and towels etc. You will not want for anything. Equipped with two full bathrooms and a space age shower in one, this is a rare find in NYC and greatly appreciated. Although this space is updated you will experience its New York charm. As a native New Yorker (Park Slope), I felt right at home physically and culturally. The neighborhood is alive with shops, services, and restaurants. Anything that you can imagine needed to make your stay more comfortable is within walking distance. This being a neighborhood steeped in different cultures there is a variety of food choices from the many different countries from that region. We felt totally comfortable sending our teens to the local shops by themselves. There are several transportation options from train, bus, gypsy cab, dollar van and NYC cabs traditional and flat fee and uber. We took the trains mostly in addition to driving. When driving pay close attention to the parking restrictions. Crown heights is a great staring place for any journey when visiting the 5 boroughs and the surrounding areas.
