My partner and I spent a lovely week at Jennifer's, she is a very generous host and leaves you free to use her house whilst she is away, which means you can cook and relax in the living room after a busy day uptown.
Her living room is beautiful and stylish and a really nice space and there are loads of interesting books to browse. The bedroom is nice and spacious and it was great having a private bathroom, shower was fab, loads of towels and toiletries which is very considerate, so no need to bring your own and saves on your luggage if travelling light like we were.
House in a very quiet street, decking out back nice for breakfast and great for bird and squirrel watching. Plenty of good local restaurants and a nice patisserie and what we really liked was a bar called Barbes, literally 5 minutes walk, which had really amazing live music every night, well worth a trip out. Location wise we found this part of Brooklyn easy to get in and out of, couple of blocks to nearest subway and regular trains, although as it's about a half hour trip into manhattan we didn't go back in at night, too tired by then!
I would thoroughly recommend staying at Jennifer's if you can.
