I lived here for a month. The place is located in Ft. Greene, which is an awesome neighborhood. It's accessible to everything. It is within walking distance to many trains, grocery stores, bars, restaurants, etc. It's also very safe. There are lots of young ppl and families. As a woman I never felt in danger walking home alone at night.

The place is very clean, which was great for me because that's how I like to live. That being said, there are many rules and expectations in place to keep it that way. I received a reminder about sponge placement, for example.

The room itself is very spacious. As Taya put it "You could do yoga in here!". (I did not take advantage of yoga, but it was nice not feeling cramped).

Taya is very knowledgable about the neighborhood (read: she told me where to find the laundromat, coffee, food and general merriment). She also checks in every so often to see how things are going.

I spent a nice month here and would recommend this place for temporary or long term travelers. If you are a temporary traveler, keep in mind that while all trains are within walking distance, they are all more than a block. The C and G trains are closer, around 8-10 minutes walking, but all of the other trains are about 12-15 min, depending on the speed of your stride.

Cheers!
