This room is very nice and clean. Michael responds to all messages and calls fairly quickly. When we arrived, his wife Arlene was the one to greet us and show us the room and get us settled. She is a very kind lady. We did not meet Michael personally though, once you stay here, Arlene takes care of everything. The room was private, we had our own keys to the front door and to our room. The room itself is very clean (the sheets and pillows smell amazing, whatever laundry detergent Arlene uses is GREAT lol) there is a fridge, microwave, dishes, and trashcan in the room for your convenience. A flat screen TV and WiFi, Netflix included. The bathroom is very clean and nice as well. Fresh towels and soap. We stayed 3days and used public transportation(subway) to get to & from Manhattan while we were there. It was a great stay. The house this room is located in is very nice, and the street it’s located on is nice as well... I only have one negative thing to say though, this area is not the safest. If you drive your own car, there’s parking out front and that’s great, but if you take the subway, like we did... it is not the safest area. It’s a very short walk though from the Van Siclen subway stop to Michael and Arlene’s house. This is east Brooklyn, and it is what it is. The location is not Michael or Arlene’s fault lol just be aware of your surroundings when booking this room and you’ll be fine. We enjoyed our stay
