In general, Hubert's apartment was comfortable, homey and quiet. I flew in on a red eye flight from San Francisco, and barely got any rest when I landed in New York. Hubert was generous enough to allow me to check in early and rest in the living room. Although communication was spotty, he was reachable mainly by phone calls. The check in and check out process was easy.
His room is quite spacious, but the only downside was the lack of AC. It was pretty hot when I visited the city during the summer. But other than that, the room was equipped with everything that was needed for the long weekend.
The apartment is shared with two of his roommates, and they were very nice and helpful. There is a rooftop connected to the apartment, and his roommates and friends were partying at 8:30am on a Saturday. That caught me a little off-guard, as I was unaware there would be a huge crowd of people walking around the apartment.
Transportation was not as convenient as I hoped it would be. The closest subway station is a 10 minute walk away. The Classon station is next to a housing project, and can get a little sketch in the evenings. The G train also does not run as frequent as the L train. The bus stops are closer to the apartment, but the area is also sketch in the evenings. Most of the time, I took a Lyft or Uber home for safety.
I've stayed in Manhattan during all my trips to NY, and thought Brooklyn would be designed similar. Unfortunately, there are many pocket neighborhoods to look out for. Advertised as Clinton-Hill, but I double checked and it is more on the border of Bed-Stuy.
I'm sure the apartment is suitable for most travelers, but being a female I felt extra cautious walking home in the evenings.
