tldr: Barebones apartment with beautiful light on a gorgeous block in a wonderful neighborhood. A couple of hiccups in my stay that hopefully will not be repeated for anybody else’s.
As the other reviewers mentioned, this apt is very basic, clearly a rental that nobody lives in full time. There’s a functional bed, a table with four stools in the kitchen area, a side table that I put in front of the window and used as a desk with one of the available chairs. There is no couch, no living room curtains, no TV, no comforter, just a thin blanket (I ended up buying my own comforter and some fluffier pillows). Kitchen accoutrements are also a bare minimum (you must light the range yourself every time you want to use it). The building is a bit old, needs updating, but overall it was fine for my stay.
On the plus side, the apt gets great light, the neighbors in the building and on the block are very nice. The whole neighborhood is wonderful and I’d be excited to spend time in this area again. It has multiple trains nearby for relatively easy Manhattan access (as long as you can handle some walking).
The two issues I had with my stay will hopefully be fixed for the next person. Had a heinously stressful check-in (the worst check-in of any Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in) due to the wrong address being listed in Airbnb so I spent ages trying to get into the wrong building creating a ton of undue stress. Make sure to get the correct address before you try to check in. The second issue is that I didn’t have power for about 24 hours at one point. I don’t know how often this happens or why it wasn’t fixed sooner.
Hopefully neither of those things will happen to the next person, and you can enjoy a more peaceful stay in beautiful fort greene.
