Good value, comparatively speaking. In that area, picked because of proximity to Brooklyn Steel (we were catching two shows there in a row), this was the best priced 2-bdrm option for sure. Plenty of eateries and shops within short walking distances. Steps from the subway into Manhattan. And surprisingly quiet considering, although there was daily construction halfway down the block.
The place itself, as many many other reviewers have mentioned, is fairly run down. Lots of cabinet doors broken, old tile that’s been patch worked, etc. It’s apparently on the market for sale, so I get not wanting to pour money into it.
Also, no microwave! This might matter to some of you - it would have been convenient to have.
Our main complaint regarding the apartment as a whole is lots of water bugs (tiny roaches). They were mainly focused to the sinks and bathroom, and it wasn’t a full infestation, but they were unwelcomed, to say the least.
We also ran out of paper products on the first night (TP - the guests upstairs were gracious enough to share an extra roll), and paper towels the first morning. There was some confusion in my communication with Artem, but she did drop off another roll of TP for us, just not paper towels. Didn’t want to bother her so I didn’t push the issue - that’s on me.
Otherwise it was good stay, and knowing what I know we’d probably pick the spot again if nothing else around the area was priced better.
