Was exactly what I needed for my 1 month NYC stay. The room is big and comfy with own bathroom (ensuite!). neighborhood is very much typically Brooklyn with a big Hispanic community. That also means loud south-(/middle-)american music on the streets at times and people BBQing in front of their houses. Quite vibrant and energetic for sure. 2 L-train stops away, or a 15 minutes walk, starts the "hipster ghetto" (basically, everything between Jefferson Street station and Williamsburg), so the location is quite convenient as you can either take the L-train to that part of Brooklyn or further to 14th street in Manhattan (i.e. Union Square), or instead take the M-train just around the corner to go to lower Manhattan (Soho, Greenwich Village, etc.). There's no A/C in the room, be warned for the summer months if you can't live without it, but the fan did the job just fine for me. When booking, you'll meet Gabriel and his brother Brandon, both creative, fun-loving guys who made me feel very welcome, invited me out and helped me with little things whenever they could. Gabriel even created a list of things to do for me that included most of his favorite places around the neighborhood, which came in handy many times. If you're into Brooklyn-Life, this is definitely a good base and good people. Recommended!
