I have been hosting people from all over the world for over twenty years in my large home in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. My street is very quiet. It only has private homes and is a short walk to the subway too. There are restaurants, pharmacies, and small shops to buy foods and other things. I am a native New Yorker. I work from home, so am available to assist people with questions and ideas to make your stay more pleasurable. The bedrooms all have a comfortable bed, desk to work at and access to high speed internet. I offer bedding, towels and soap. Laundry can be done nearby. During the summer I have air conditioners to make the room comfortable and each room has a ceiling fan. have three cats that are so friendly and like to meet new people too. They stay out of guest rooms though. I offer a light breakfast too.

About the Area
Midwood is an area in the middle of Brooklyn. My house is 6 short streets from the Avenue M station Q subway. It is a very quiet street that people appreciate after a long day. The house is also close to two bus stops. There are several restaurants, pharmacies, shopping and two libraries. I am also a walk to Brooklyn College. Mt. Sinai Brooklyn Hospital is within walking distance too. The beach is about 15 minutes on the subway and there is a shopping mall that you can easily travel to.
