First of all, Diana was very sweet and helpful to me and my wife. She coordinated everything well, and even brought us up a water boiler, and tea set to make tea. She was very helpful even though we didnt see her much as we werent in the apartment much. It was nice to have to worry about waking up anyone else coming or going in the evening, as the room is on the top floor and it is possible to get up there without passing Diana´s living quarters.

The location is excellent, right off 5th avenue, in the heart of Park Slope, surrounded by great restaurants, and, of course, Prospect Park. This place is definitely a value in the area.

It is however a very old building, and a bit rough around the edges, as it is beat-up in parts. That really didnt bother me much, as the room itself was in pretty good shape and clean. My only complaint is that the room does not have a private bathroom, but rather a shared one for the entire 3rd floor, which has a number (4?) of bedrooms. Also, it was not a big deal for us, but the bedroom door doesnt have a lock on it, so you need to be ok with that.

For the price it is a very good value in that neighborhood, and Diana seemed completely trustworthy and a very good host.
