Joseph is very willing to help guests who are first-timers in New York find their way. East Brooklyn is a small ways from the attractions that most people come to see but he showed me how the subway system works which was a huge help. The room I stayed in was exactly as advertised in the pictures. Everything was clean and the layout of the room was very simple. He put out baskets with sweets and some basic hygienic items that a guest may have easily forgotten at home. There was a washer and dryer on sight and Joseph was kind enough to let the guest use them. I was also able to use the refrigerator, stove, utensils, and microwave if I needed them. Staying with Joseph is a great economical choice if you're looking for a clean, quiet place to lay your head at night with great accommodations.
