Victoria's place is OK, but not as nice as the pictures tend to show. Overall, the apartment doesn't look very fresh (old carpet, old paints on the walls, uncomfortable bedsheets or pillows, weird lighting and decoration in the entrance hall, missing door knob, bathroom door that you cannot close... ). It would certainly need some investment to become much more pleasant. But the worst comes from the kitchen appliances. The toaster is very hazardous (it is half-broken and electric wires come from out of it!), you can find no pan that are less than twenty years old, the dishwasher just does not work, etc. It is barely OK to store some juice in the fridge and have the boiler heat up some water in the morning to get a glass of orange juice and a cup of tea, but don't expect much more. The Brooklyn neighborhood is fine (but without shops at a near distance), the subway station is close to the house and it is very easy to get quickly to Manhattan.
