I stayed in Sep 2011 for 4 days at Spencer Place and I think that for the money the place is a bargain. The house is a true brownhouse and my room (the single one) was bigger than it looked on the picture. Mine and other 2 bedrooms were on the first floor, as was the bath and the kitchen.... More

Me and my friend stayed in summer 2011 at Spencer Place and really enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the Franklin Room which was about 20 squaremeter big, the bed had a good matress and there was lots of place to keep our stuff. The house is old and beautiful and it came in handy to have a kitchenette with... More

My daughter and I spent 8 nights in the Bedford room. We paid $ 800 + taxes and were very pleased with our stay. Even though they have cats and we are allergic, it went fine. We didn't spend so much time in the room except to sleep. The room is a bit bigger than the pictures shows and fits... More

Not worth the price with a shared bathroom (we paid $150 a night) and tons of steps to climb up and down. Neighborhood is very urban with no modern amenities, restaurants or shops locally or walkable. Driving is nuts. Parking is hard. Neighbors were very nice. Some security provided by searchlights on helicopters, however. Saw some drunk people stumblin around... More

We spent 6 nights in the Bedford Room and were pretty satisfied with what we got. The room was small but enough for us and all our luggage. Since we wanted to discover the city we really needed the room to sleep somewhere only, so this was a great choice. The price was OK for New York, it is only... More

I stayed for a couple days in December 07, in the Hancock room. The building itself is a real beauty, with nice tall ceilings, and much of the original look. The bed was super comfortable, and the keepers were very friendly. Everything was clean and cozy, and just as you'd expect. Given the cost and CLOSE proximity to the subway,... More

I stayed in the Hancock room which was fine. there is also a small common room and kitchen with lots of goodies for breakfast and a fridge and microwave you can use. Owners are very friendly and easy going. I was not 100% comfortable as a woman travelling alone for the first time in this Brooklyn neighbourhood after dark, which... More

Old-style, charming building, newly renovated with immaculate clean rooms, bathroom and kitchen. High speed internet in the rooms. Amazingly friendly, open and helpful staff. Absolutely no problems at all. The immidiate neighboorhood is not the best, but its close to the train/subway stop. A great place.
