What an awesome host! She was so helpful to us with so many aspects of our stay in Brooklyn, was very interesting to talk to, her home is spotlessly clean, and the location is a short walk to the Q train which goes to Manhatten. The area also has lots of great multicultural eating places, a short walk to the beautiful Prospect Park, and we found it safe walking around at night. It is also quiet at night, which is not the case if you were to stay in manic Manhatten. I wouldn't hesitate staying here.
