I highly recommend this space. The hosts are lovely, warm and completely available but unintrusive. And the location is ideal – i used to live in this neighborhood, and I've always thought this was such a beautiful street. The walk from here to the Bedford subway stop is actually a great walk, and then if you don't feel like walking, you're right near the G train. You can definitely hear footfalls and voices from the floor above, but if you're used to living in a city, this will be familiar and not a problem. The space itself is simple and functional, with beautiful books and a very comfortable bed.
