This place is a great value. I never met the host personally, but his assistant was very warm and welcoming when we checked in. The kitchen is very roomy for cooking and eating your own meals, as well as a lot of storage space in the kitchen for food. The shower was wonderful after a long day of sightseeing. It is about a 25-30 minute walk to the train, and you can take the bus, but they were always a little crowded. There are some great food options around this location, as well as a mall and a few other shops for your needs. This part of Brooklyn is filled with great brick architecture, and it was beautiful to walk through during my stay. While I did not stay for the whole time I booked, the host was helpful in working with myself and airbnb to resolve my issue. I booked over Easter weekend, and there were 2-3 families with small children staying as well. This room is one of 4 rooms on the townhouse floor that were being rented. This is an older residence so if you are a light sleeper, or you book during the same time as other guests, it can get pretty noisy. I ended up cutting my booking short and changing locations because myself, and my guest couldn't sleep through the crying children a few of the other guests had. Lawrence completely understood my reasoning, as I'm sure his hands were also tied with the other guests. He was very prompt with his responses which was much appreciated.
