The location is fantastic. Right in the middle of the action of Brooklyn. I have stayed in this area many times. The building is old. The apartment would appear to be one used for rental only. Has all that is needed. Thin walls....Noise can be easily heard. Stayed in the summer so the air conditioner was on at night but I suspect not the quietest place in the world otherwise. The apartment was likely not original and looks as if it was created as an additional unit from the original building.. Communication was great , but I have stayed in lots of airbnb places and I have to say I do not rate this highly as an apartment. Its one of the lower rates in the neighbourhood and one can see why. Not terrible, but not one that I would stay in again nor recommend to a friend. If budget matters though, you can not beat the location.
