Pros:
- The room and the apartment are quite large for NY standards.
- Clean
- Angela has been very nice (she waited for us to arrive, as our bus was 1hr late, she allowed us to leave our luggage there for several hrs after checking out)
- Very close to the metro station, a few options to eat something around (not a lot though)
- Very good wifi connection

Cons:
- You can't control the heating on the room. For us it was too warm the first night, and opening the window was not an option because of the noise from the street. Angela lowered the heating the next day and we were ok, but the first day we were very tired because of that. If you only have a few days in NY, you may want to maximize the quality of your sleeping.
- Even if that is not very clear from the listing, you may have to share the apartment with other hosts (each with a private room, sharing bathroom and kitchen). I personally don't like that, because there is no way to say if the other people are clean, quit etc... (if you share with the landlord/tenant, you can use the feedbacks to get an idea of those things). In our case, the guy in the other room would leave his stuff, including razor and hair, in the bathtub.
- The surroundings are not incredibly nice (as compared to other Brooklyn areas, eg. Cobble Hill)

Overall:

- For its price it is a very good option that you should seriously consider.
