This is a charming, authentic brownstone in a prime neighbourhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. The room did not disappoint and was as beautiful as the pictures with a luxurious private bathroom. As with most of these old buildings in New York, there is no air conditioning other than window units and we were visiting in the heat of summer. The large AC unit in this room was blowing right at my head which meant I woke up with a major migraine. This made our stay impossible and we had to leave after one night. If you have any sensitivity to that (as I do), this room may not work for you. Also, the wireless Internet does not reach into this room so if you have a critical need for Internet connection (as I did) you will be SOL. Carol mentioned the next morning that she had another router we could connect to, but we had already made other arrangements for alternate accommodations. About $450 wasted! And this is the downside of Airbnb--you take a bit of a risk in getting what you hope for--in a hotel you can complain and get a refund. I would highly recommend this room, but only in cooler weather and if they fix the wireless Internet or leave instructions for both routers.
