Amanda was a great host. I stayed with her for a couple of nights with 2 friends. The room was on the smaller side, but comfortably fit the 3 of us (3rd person was on a couch/futon against the wall not visible in the pictures). There is 1 restroom that we shared with Amanda. Her apartment is so cute, and well decorated.

Staying with her was like staying with an old friend. She gave us info on her neighborhood, Crown Heights, as well as how to find our way to Manhattan. She was responsive over text if I had any questions or concern. Then she pretty much let us do our thing, which is exactly what we needed from our host.

Crown Heights is an interesting neighborhood. In the daytime, it's just like any other. However, at night, it had a different vibe. There were cops patrolling around or standing on specific street corners. I always felt safe and didn't mind walking around the neighborhood, but it might differ from what one might expect gentrified Brooklyn to be.
