We had a nice stay at Deirdre's place. However, I would say that this is definitely a bargain stay. While there are two kitchens, I wouldn't say that they are the best cooking spaces. They are very small (but as is common in New York City) and not easy to move around/cook in. The cooking smell seemed to linger for a couple of days in one of the bedrooms after using its kitchen. We did have some other apartment issues but Deirdre was extremely available and able to address the issue. Overall, I would recommend this place if you would like an inexpensive, bargain stay in Brooklyn. It was super close to the train station which was great when traveling to other boroughs.
