The room was neat and clean, facing a quiet street..It had its own bathroom (a little cramped up, but better than than a shared bathroom). Carol was friendly and was quick to respond to my inquiries after initial contact. The neighborhood was charming... Tree lined brownstones, the hills of Forest Greene Park two blocks away, restaurants and delis, down the road, 10 minutes away from the BAM and subways. Overall a very good experience. I loved it.... Not a good choice for people with some physical disability.
