Kathleen was a fine host. Her home is in a great location near a bunch of shops and restaurants, Prospect Park and Park Slope, and just 10-15 minutes from Lower Manhattan via numerous subway trains... very convenient. The room was quite spacious and the kitchenette in the back corner was also a nice feature to have when the bathroom was taken by guests staying in the front bedroom. Also, the bed was really large and comfortable, and for the most part it was pretty quiet. The only minor downsides others might want to know about would be that you need share a bathroom with guests from the other room and the bedroom is on the 4th floor, so that's lots of stairs to climb--but those are very minor details. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone.
