Vika & Josh's place in Brooklyn felt very secure in Brooklyn which I really liked. Plus I liked the ease of only needing to know some door codes rather than carrying keys around and worrying about losing them. As a foreigner I wasn't sure how concerned to be about the neighbourhood but after a conversation with Vika I felt like I didn't need to worry - she has never had a problem in 4 years of living here, and there is a police station close by which deters crime. The room is small but cosy and has all you really need. Also the laminated directions & local tips were a nice touch. Airconditioning unit in the warmer months is a bit noisy and means you can't open the window to let a breeze in, but as it got very warm during my stay I was grateful for the aircon! The shared bathroom is modern and I almost never had to wait to use it. All in all I would recommend Vika & Josh's place to anyone wanting to stay in Brooklyn, it was great.
