Vera is a very thoughtful, gracious host. The historical brownstone is located in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Brooklyn and the block was judged the greenest block in Brooklyn in 2007 and 2011. It is a visual treat walking along the street. Very tidy and lovely AirBnb room equipped with a small refrigerator, a small coffee maker and complimentary tea bags, soda drinks and juices. A good bed and clean bathroom. Vera is there when you need her but leaves you to enjoy your privacy. She loves in the brownstone with the friendliest cat I have ever come across.
The communication was quick and the room looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is conveniently located about 8 minutes walk from the Beverly Road subway station, which is served by the 2 train at all times and the 5 train on weekdays. But be aware that it will take you between 45-65 minutes to get into Manhattan, depending on where you are going. If you love walking, you could get to Prospect Park in about 30-35 minutes. As a woman by myself, I did not feel unsafe walking to/from the station or in the neighborhood late at night. The AirBnb is very quiet, though you should be aware that there is a chicken pen in the backyard and if you are a light sleeper, the early morning rooster crowing could wake you up earlier than desired.
If you are planning to work remotely from the Airbnb, the bandwidth of the Wifi could become an issue, though it never prevented me from doing my work except for a little inconvenience. If you are into watching Live News, the bandwidth issue sometimes leads to buffering every few minutes. The bathroom is equipped with hair dryer, shampoo & conditioner, body wash. An iron and ironing board is also provided in the room. There are hangers in the closet and a long mirror on the wall.
Would absolutely recommend to stay there!
