The place is as described. The family members are nice but there is a language barrier. The home is in a location that doesn’t make it convenient to get anywhere in Brooklyn or Manhattan. If you are into “hipster” dive bars then it’s a neighborhood for you. The neighborhood itself is noisy (the neighbors were having a party until 2am literally on the other side of the door) with a lot of trash, graffiti and rats. The bathrooms in particular could have been thoroughly bleached and scrubbed (lots of hair and grime). The common areas were cluttered and unclean. If you need a place to crash and you don’t need a bathroom then it is a place for you. I hope the hosts can make improvements as they are lovely.
