$70 on a Saturday in Brooklyn in summertime. That's a bargin NYC price.
This is not for the fancy traveler. This is more akin to a classic boarding house.
The host is a wonderful friendly person. However, our pre-check in communication was spotty, at best--he didn't reply to several messages, but it all worked out in the end---but he isn't a quick response kind of host.
It's an older home with a lot of older home issues--knobs coming off of doors (bathroom, shower handle), a toilet that runs endlessly (needs a new seal in the tank...all that wasted water....), and our bedroom (second floor) air conditioner "barely" worked. Thankfully it wasnt a very hot weekend, but if you wanted an icebox, you weren't getting it---the AC unit was old and barely making it cool after about 5 hrs of running.
It's a bargin price. This is the host's home and you shouldnt expect it to be spotless or bougie. If your goal is a cheap room for a night or two, and you dont mind boarding house/college style accomodations, it's for you. If not, probably go somewhere else.
Again, the host is a nice and friendly man who lives here. You're in his home, and it's affordable. That's the review.
