Christa and Zach make the whole process very easy and relaxed. It's a really nice street, filled with trees, and a nice single bedroom (though you'll need a sleepmask - it gets all the early morning light!) with plenty of storage and full use of their kitchen helps make it feel like home from home, as do the two dogs who run to greet visitors! You're a couple of minutes walk from the subway, and most of the everyday shops (groceries, bank etc) you could need are just round the corner. Takes a while to get to Manhattan, say, but there are plenty of hidden treats in Brooklyn to explore on the way. But above all my hosts were really helpful and understanding when I ran into some problems, for which I was very grateful. Strongly recommended as a friendly welcoming base if you want to see all the surprising beauty (try the botanic gardens) and places of interest in Brooklyn.
