I'm familiar with NY brownstone living, and this places lives up to that concept. First floor entrance, no stairs, unit located on ground floor and bedroom in the basement. I actually like that sense of privacy/security, but if you are uncomfortable going downstairs to where you'll sleep just a heads up. But Fort Greene is a crown jewel in Brooklyn and this setting is clean, really nice, and super convenient to all the mass transit you'll need. I was in town for a multi-day work trip. A colleague stayed in a hotel for the same price - and was in a cramped room in a sterile setting. I was picking up dinner at the local corner store and had a full sitting room with corner kitchen and a separate bedroom. I'd stay again! Darcy and Ross were immediately communicative, and I had everything I needed to access the room from a single e-mail correspondence. Great place - all the best, Darcy and Ross!
