Zenobia is a very responsive and kind host! We stayed at her place a week while visiting our son who lives nearby. Her place is perfect if you intend to be out and about most of the time; subway stations are within a 10-15 minute walk and we had no problem using Lyft either. The location is great in that you are equidistant to many attractions /parts of Brooklyn. Prospect Park is about a 15 minute walk away; a great place to picnic and walk and enjoy people watching. The Brooklyn art museum and Botanical garden are within a 30 min walk.
The neighborhood area is a funky mix of older, classic Brooklyn bodegas and assorted small shops/eateries interspersed with newer cafes and shops.
Manhattan is about an hour away via subway/car.
The space itself is in the basement; down a few steep steps. You will hear low level noises/footsteps at times; but they were never disturbing. The amenities are fine for one-two people only. Great shower ; the kitchenette is best for breakfast/simple meals. It has a small fridge; hot plate; hot water pot, and toaster oven (no microwave). The small garden area is pleasant (when the weather is nice). Only complaint is we got a bit cold (weather was rainy) and we have encouraged Zenobia to add a safer and larger space heater. She has a nice dehumidifier but as we were there in the early Spring we didn't need that. Internet/Wifi was good and we were able to watch Netflix on the TV . Hope this helps you find your spot to stay in Brooklyn!
