The space is huge and open. It’s also surprisingly quiet, as far as street noise is concerned. It’s still Brooklyn, near a busy street with the requisite sirens etc. But the flat itself felt peaceful. It’s off the main street just enough and faces the back of the building. Definitely helps.
The neighbors to the side and below can definitely be heard, but not overly so (for Brooklyn), with the exception of the occasional music session (at reasonable hours). The flat is a little rough around the edges, bathroom is small, but functional.
Al in all, it was perfect for my purposes..a long stay with my dog in Brooklyn. Giving it 5 stars mainly because the host was good with communication, warm, gracious and accommodating (also super friendly to my young dog). Thanks Tim.
