the location and the price is unbeatable for New York City. Brushwick is a great neighborhood, full of life and really peaceful. Chavisa gave us lot of local adresses and was very nice. But I think she wasn't very aware that she shared our apartment with guests. except the fact that the room was smaller than it appears on the photo, it was not very clean and tidy, there was lot of her stuff in the room, we didn't have a single closet for our clothes, no trash can on the room, the towels was dirty ( I didn't use it), the kitchen was not very clean to, and we had to organize her fridge to find place for our food.
