I had a great stay in NYC and Carol's room is really nice with your own bathroom! You will have all the privacy you want. There is wifi too. I love Brooklyn and Fort Greene is particularly quirky and interesting. There are really lovely places: bars and restaurants just around the corner from Carol's house. The house itself is only 10min walk from the nearest subway (a nice walk through residential tree-lined streets with this special Brooklyn vibe). Smith and Bond Streets, which are also very nice are not too far away either.
Carol is a lovely and warm person and resoponded to my questions in no time.
Thank you Carol.
