Carroll Gardens is a very quaint area with many nice restaurants and shops on Court Street, two blocks from the house. Very close to some subway trains which you can make transfer to others and mid-distance to many other trains.
The house is on a chic and residential street. You'll be living with a family in an all modern renovated four floor brownstone which it will make you feel that you are all alone. Your bedroom is in a floor pretty much all for you with a modern bathroom, and even though you'll be sharing it, it was always available when I needed it. I highly recommend this place.
