Marjorie is quick to respond which I really appreciated since I had a last minute change at my job in Manhattan. She is really sweet and welcoming. The room was cozy and not to mention her home in general was very nice with its' own cozy home style. Red Hook is a great place to get a break from the city. Public transit isn't bad, but if you're heading to Manhattan for example it will take about an hour. Not so bad since it's pretty direct. I would definitely stay here my next visit.
