The apartment itself is great- bigger than it looks in the photos, super nice, & very quiet (but I was the only guest in the building most of the time). The location is close to the subway, but on a quiet street, in a classic Brooklyn brownstone. However, definitely don't expect any help at all from the host. I messaged him with a question at check in on Monday and he responded on Wednesday and didn't even answer the question. Most hosts check in on you when you arrive, but he didn't even respond to my message until two days later, and was unhelpful even then.
