The place looks EXACTLY how you see it in the pictures. It's in the basement in Michel's humble home and its very cozy. The room itself is not big or spacious but just the right amount to move around a little and have space for luggage if needed. The kitchen is nice and clean, the bathroom was also very clean and there were extra towels and things in there just in case you forgot a few items Michel made sure you were okay. The water gets very hot which is great if you enjoy HOT showers like i do. Overall, if you're looking for a spot that's going to give you bang for your bucks, this is it! Michel is great host and very friendly, she replies quickly, and it's very private, you have your own key and private entrance and its in a good location close to many things in Brooklyn. I was on a work related trip with a coworker and we BOTH stayed im the room and enjoyed ourselves. Definitely will be booking again if I'm staying in Brooklyn.
