This is a room rental, but it feels more like a personal studio. Because the property is a bit out there in Brooklyn, that also means the rooms are much more spacious. I was SO comfortable. The bathroom was amazing; Lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and a blow dryer were all within reach. I had 2 full sets of towels (washcloth, hand towel, and full towel) for me and my guest, plus a spare set in the closet area. The mattress was really nice and seemed new-ish. The bedding wasn't cleap and was comfortable to the touch which I appreciate. Some hosts tend to buy the cheapest sheets and towels. I slept like a baby.
There was a big TV in the room, remote control light and fan, tissues and a pen by the bed, a great desk to work at, big, bright windows but also shades and curtains for daytime darkness if you want it. I DJ and work until 4am or later, so being able to darken a room during the day is very helpful for me. I needed to pick up some materials from Staples, and it was just a 15 min walk away. And, there was plenty of places to eat nearby. When I asked for an iron, an iron and board magically appeared. And, when I realized I left my phone charger in California, there was one waiting for me upon request. Sam is a pro at this.
Yes, it's far out, near Coney Island. But, I'm no NY newbie, so I knew this going in. The Q train is VERY close and takes you right into the city so if it's snowing, raining, or blistering hot you don't have a long walk. If you know your way around even a little bit, this is an excellent choice, especially if you're traveling as a couple and don't want to be tripping over each other. New York accommodations can be notoriously small.
