This is a hidden gem for anyone looking to be near the less-famous cultural and historical sites of Brooklyn and Staten Island, or for people seeking lodging away from tourist traps in a real Brooklyn residential area (Flatbush). My attic room gave me virtually an entire floor to myself, but the narrow stairs are not suitable for people with mobility issues. Also, my bathroom was outside of my lockable room door, but nobody bothered me and I never forgot my keys. The room was big and clean, aside from a few strange smudges around light switches and doorknobs and a dead Daddy-Longlegs. Lastly, the discreet driveway took in all the loose garbage blown in off the block, but that's New York (or any urban area, really)! [Surroundings: Subway and bus routes are conveniently close, and car parking isn't as horrible as it could be. Lots of food of different ethnic varieties within a short walk.]
