Rodney and Desmond’s space gives you an authentic taste of Brooklyn. It is located on the top floor of an older, beautiful brownstone on a quiet street. There are a handful of cute restaurants nearby (Chez Oskar is great for brunch and Casablanca is great for cocktails!) and it is about a 10 minute walk to the Utica subway station. The neighborhood has some character, which I found charming! My mom and I felt comfortable making the walk to and from the subway station at night, however, some people may not. Rodney and Desmond were extremely responsive and made our stay quite comfortable. I would recommend this AirBnb to anyone who is looking for an authentic experience of NY, away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Thanks, Rodney and Desmond!
