Jose's place is just as described. Small, but plenty of room if you plan on being out and about most of the time you're visiting. Situated very close to a subway station, it makes it easy to get around. The train can be heard from the apartment, but I didn't find it to be a problem or disturb sleep at all.
In addition, Jose was very friendly, going out of his way to make accommodations. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay Brooklyn.
