As it is said in other posts, the house is old (100 years, located in an historic district and it seems to not be renovated in the past decades) but it does its function. You´ll have a nice bed to sleep in, a bathroom you can take a shower and a kitchen in which you can prepare your meals if you want (we did it). It is a nice place to stay, not only for its perfect location in Brooklyn and super close to the metro station but also, and more specially, for the nice host who lives in it. Sydney is such a great man, easy to talk with, very sociable and communicative. He is a clever and educated man you can chat about all type of topics: from current political affairs to American history. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed his company when we arrived from our super long day in the city! Hope to see you again!
