Unfortunately I cannot be only positive about our stay in Brooklyn. The neighborhood felt far from safe upon arrival at 9:00 PM, luckily the walk from the subway to the apartment was rather short and there was police on the streets during the night. Rez was not in her apartment at that time as been told to us beforehand, but neither was her friend to open up for us. With the help of her awesome neighbour, we finally made it in which took some time. This all was not very welcoming, neither was the following: we were surprised by the amount of stuff lying around and the weird things everywhere, some were kind of scary. Even the kitchen and bathroom were full of this stuff, although the sanitary was clean. After a short introduction with Rez after coming home, we could go to bed. The room was private as promised in the description and tidy as well. The bed itself could only fit one person! Therefore one of us needed to sleep on an air mattress. Both were comfortable though. Rez was a friendly social person, busy working during the day, so we didn't talk too much. She gave us good directions to places throughout Brooklyn and was determined to help us out on that part. I would recommend this apartment to others, on the condition that Rez is at home on arrival and makes the house/room more ready for guests to feel welcome immediately.
