We are a warm loving family from London, England. We Look forward to hosting, it is second nature to us! The bedroom is large king size bedroom with a full-size bed. Lots of space to move around and relax. The bedroom faces the front of the house, so there is ample amount of light.
We reside on a very nice block, centered in the block is a Catholic church, we are surrounded by private homes and condominiums.
Transporation:
The house is within walking distance of the train station, the bus stops and we a centrally located by both the Manhattan bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge. Lastly, on the corner of the block, there is a City Bike stand; this is a shared rental bike program, also Uber and Lyftcab service are available.
Where I live in Brooklyn is accessible by 13 subway lines (A, B, C, D, F, G, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5) that stop within ten blocks of the location.
The C train stops within two blocks at Clinton/Washington.
The B38, B69, B52, B57, and the B62 bus lines also stop a few blocks from the location. Timed - From the house to New York City: It is approximately 10 mins by car & 35 Minutes if you walk over the Manhattan Bridge.

I really enjoyed staying with Sharon. The room is lovely and spacious. The bed is so comfortable! I could sleep very well!!
The location is nice. You can go to Manhattan by subway or ferry. Ferry is relaxing and easy. I love it!
I definitely want to stay again when I go back to NY. Sharon, I can't thank you enough. You have a heart of gold!
初めてのホームステイでしたがSharonとの生活はとても楽しく快適でした。部屋は荷物を広げたり寛いだりするにも十分な広さがあり、特にベッドは大変心地よく、旅の疲れが一晩で取れました。
マンハッタンへのアクセスも良く、ミュージカルの夜の回を観た後もUberで簡単に帰って来られます。外から帰って来た時にSharonは温かく迎えてくれ、安心して滞在できます。
またニューヨークへ行った際はぜひSharonの家に滞在したいと思います。

We really enjoyed our stay with Sharon who is so welcoming and accommodating. She took us at very short notice with our two children and was very warm and helpful. It’s a wonderful house in a vibrant area. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and stay again if back in New York.

Sharon welcomed us warmly and was available for any questions throughout our stay. We enjoyed the big room, private bathroom and cozy bed. In the room we had a big fridge, table and 2 chairs, so that we could also have snacks and prepared our trips to NYC. A bus stop is near by. We enjoyed a great stay. Thanks!

Sharon was a wonderful host. She was kind and very helpful. She was always available if I had a question and kept me informed on who was coming and going from the house. Thank you for a great 10 weeks! All the best!

It was lovely the meet Sharon and share a meal with her at the famous Wo Hop restaurant in China town. Our room was spacious and although it was nice to have a welcoming bowl of fresh fruit in our room on arrival, I have come to expect the light breakfast offered by Homestay and indicated on Sharon's description. This was not forthcoming. As an asthma sufferer I found the room and entry staircase dusty. I would also have liked some specific directions on how to get to Sharon's address in Fort Greene before we arrived. It is very simple when you know! All the best Sharon, I hope you enjoy the Australian wine in the coming holiday season.
Host reply
Judy, I am rather disappointed with your review. First of all, you were already in New York when you arrived, and you researched the address on your own and you stated you knew the train station.
Secondly, I upgraded your room which included an ensuite and refrigerator which was self -contained. You a bowl of fruit, which was given so you can have a light breakfast. To be honest, my breakfast schedule was posted and you did not request tea until day 3 or 4 into your stay, because, you woke up late.
I must point out that your bedroom window was left open during your stay an obviously there will be slight dust particles coming in the room. My issue is why didn't you mention anything while you were at the house? Why not give me an opportunity to address those concerns?
I enjoy hosting, I would rather a guest be transparent about everything. With that said, I wish you all the best Judy! I will continue to be the best host, now and forevermore. Take care!
