Joy's place is a beautiful huge room in a beautiful brownstone on a quiet family friendly tree lined street. The subway to Manhattan and elsewhere is an easy 10-12 minute walk away - a nice gentle stroll through the park. The buses are also very conveniently located. The room is tastefully decorated with lovely artwork , nice furnishings and a really big comfy bed , is super clean with a luxurious large bathroom including a lovely jacuzzi bath. At the end of the street are a selection of great bars and restaurants. Fort Greene is a safe trendy relaxed mixed family area. Check in and check out was easy. Joy and Carol are lovely friendly hosts. I loved it and would definitely stay here again when visiting New York.
