Cassandra’s Private Room Getaway Heart of Brooklyn

Awesome host: was warmly welcomed and she was contactable if I ever needed anything; she’s the main reason why I give this place a 10 The survival kit and other goodies in the refrigerator (to be paid but affordable) were a pleasant surprise; I also received a poncho upon departing as it was raining (this was a lifesaver) Shared bathroom never posed a problem Great location: many public transportation possibilities nearby and also close but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city Wi-Fi also available but I didn’t test it as I had a data plan

For my short stay, nothing to complain about I’d definitely choose to stay here again if the option was available while in New York

Cassandra is very friendly. The room is lovely furnished. Perfect for this price. I would come again.

Location was excellent. 4 Subway lines very close by. Good range of coffee shops along Rockaway Ave in either direction. The host had supplied clean towels and "survival kit" extras like deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, safety pins and plasters, shower gel and body lotion. The fridge contained bottles of water, cans of pineapple juice, instant breakfast oats, animal crackers and fig rolls - which were unexpected and a nice surprise. Ironing board in the closet with an iron, plus a hairdryer. Netflix available. Good WiFi. The bathroom is shared, which is fine. Shower was hot and pressure was good. Would stay here again.

We never did meet the host. Grateful that a young guy on the stoop was helpful and asked someone in the house for a key for me and helped me lug my bags up the stairs. The toilet is positioned right behind the bathroom door which was awkward and the door was hanging on one door hinge so had to lift the door by the handle which was was loose, to close it. The floor tiles around the toilet were cracked and the lock didn't work. A shelf by the basin to put bath kit on would have been nice. The fragrance sachets in bedroom and bathroom were a bit overpowering. To us these were things we could overlook as we were out all day. We weren't expecting 5 star because we weren't paying for it. Overall, it was fine.

Cassandra is such a great hostess. Room comfy.

The owners where very helpful I got lost and they came to meet me at the train station late in the night

Air conditioner would be nice
