We stayed here for 2 months and Keturah's home is a wonderful place to call 'home' yourself when visiting NYC. The room is in an iconic brownstone townhome located a few blocks away from Prospect Park and the neighborhood is really quiet and family-oriented. The Airbnb is actually situated in a Caribbean pocket so there are lots of amazing Caribbean restaurants nearby and the culture is prevalent. The parking situation is actually ideal here, too! We had no trouble finding parking on the block at any time of day or night. (Well, I would avoid taking your car out if you won't be coming back until late on a weeknight - it's a little harder to find parking then). We had our dog and she did well getting used to going potty around the neighborhood, despite the lack of grass. The location is actually very centralized, which you wouldn't expect. Whether via subway or by car, from the house it's a straight shot to Manhattan. You can get to the World Trade Center and Chinatown in 20 minutes.

The room itself is comfy and spacious. We are traveling with a lot of stuff (we're traveling full-time) and there was a closet and a lot of space to store our things. The guest bathroom next to the room is nicely renovated and is shared between all the Airbnb guests in the house. However we got kinda lucky, as for about 1.5 months we had the bathroom all to ourselves :) The kitchen is also very nicely done, and you will get your own space in the cupboard to store your food/kitchenware. We were also given a small private refrigerator. We were able to use the kitchen to cook basically whenever we needed to. One thing I would suggest to future guests is to wear house slippers or at least socks, as the floors are a bit dirty.

Finally, Keturah is an amazing host. She is incredibly bubbly and brings a great energy to the house when she's around and was very accommodating when we had a few requests. That said, she also gives all the privacy you need. She goes out of her way to care for others - and this is not just for her guests, but with her neighbors, too.

I highly recommend this Airbnb, especially if you want an insider's view of Brooklyn/NYC. Thanks, Keturah!
