I came to Brooklyn for a friend’s birthday party and so I needed a simple place to crash for the night. This apartment fit the bill perfectly. It was clean, affordable, had my own room with a lock on the door and Mireille is a great host. In regards to the neighborhood, I’m not sure I’d wonder around at night, but I felt perfectly safe walking around during the day. The one downside to the place is that the bed is not the best; I slept fine but I could see some people complain. As a point of clarification, the room I stayed in was detached from the host’s main living area. I did not need to walk through her room to get to either my room or the bathroom. From talking to Mireille, she used to rent out a different room so I think some of reviews speak of an earlier rental. Fyi, I stayed September 2019. All in all, this is a great place for someone who plans on spending most of their time exploring the city. I’d definitely stay here again.
