Monica was great - very friendly, met me in person when I arrived to go over the house and keys. She had a nice notebook full of area information - transit, food, cafes, maps etc.

The room is very simple - it's basically the living room/kitchen that has a futon set up. Nothing fancy, but it's clean and comfortable. No AC, but a big fan and windows, so it was fine in June. Wifi was strong, and there is a simple kitchen/fridge if you wanted to cook. It's on the 3rd floor, but there is an elevator or stairs.

The location is great. Directly across from Prospect Park, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. A 3 minute walk to the Prospect Park Metro which gets you into Manhattan easily, or a few other parts of Brooklyn. A 10 minute walk to Crown Heights. A few cafes within a 5 minute walk, several places for food, and a good natural foods store on the corner. And having the park across the street is great - running, walking, or just getting away from concrete.
