Tara was a very friendly host that did her best to make our stay in Brooklyn as comfortable as possible. The living room and bedroom are of a good size by NYC standards, and there is plenty of space for personal things (we were two people for three months, so we had a fair amount of things to store). The kitchen is basic but functional. The neighborhood is lively with many stores and restaurants at walking distance. The subway is also just a few blocks away. You can also walk to Prospect Park and Fort Greene Park. The only downside is that it can be a bit noisy, with lots of construction activity around and with a rattling heating system which is noisy even by NY standards.
