My New York experience could not have been complete without a few days in Brooklyn, and Rodney's place was the ideal living quarters for that. The house is well connected to manhattan and to the rest of Brooklyn, the subway station is a blissful 7-minute walk away, there are convenience stores and other amenities nearby. Bedford-Stuy has great character, from rows of brownstone homes to hair-braiding salons and homegrown food and music.
The house itself is exactly as described. Very clean, very quiet, as private as you need with the reassurance of help just a call away if you need it. Rodney was the ideal host, patient when I lost my key and full of useful tips on how to get around. Would definitely go back.
