Place was comfortable & safe. Exactly what I was looking for after a long day of travel & a friend who fell through last minute w/ hosting me.

Autumn approved the day-of booking & late night arrival (~ 12a). Though relatively short in her texts, she was always/immediately responsive via text, & both thorough & kind in-person. She showed me how to use the keys, which were admittedly a little tricky & took me awhile to figure out.

Apartment was clean, comfortable, relatively large for BK, nicely segmented. Very nice the room was on the end of one side (kind of railroad style) w/ its own toilet+shower. Full bath w/ sink right next door in hallway. Desk & bookcase also really nice to have. Plus plants!

Location-wise, I'm an old Brooklynite & try to visit at least at least 1x per year. Autumn's is really one of the most ideal locations. Close enough for a cheap taxi ride (rec: Pratt or New Bell) from airports, food, etc. Short walk to trains/buses going anywhere in BK or NYC. B/w several major avenues, so taxis aren't hard to find. Very affordable. All in all, an ideal scenario for a weary traveler looking for simplicity & convenience.

The only issues I had were
1) Window didn't seem to lock. Nice to have one & good light! But it opened to a kind of yard behind the building. Due to view, it was nearly impossible to tell who else might have access. Though walls around were very tall (enough to not worry too much), there were stairs looking like they led directly to the room. So anyone w/ access to the yard might potentially have easy access to the room. A simple, cheap lock or bar (even a stick) might make it secure.

2) Construction upstairs during the day. I stayed at Autumn's 2 nights, & glad I could. But, apparently, owners were renovating the unit directly above. Autumn said they were supposed to have been done by the time I arrived, but I didn't find that out until the 2nd day. It would've been nice to know this beforehand, so I could make the decision & maybe even plan my trip sleep/awake hours around that. Due to the nature of my work & visit to NY, I was up each night until about 4 or 5am. Each day, I was awoken several hours later around 8 or 9a to very loud drilling & construction that sounded like walls were being torn down until mid-afternoon. I put in ear plugs & went back to sleep a few more hours the 1st night, but the 2nd I just stayed up. Didn't get much sleep. Thankfully I'm fairly used to that & I know my schedule is odd. An unusual circumstance, for sure. Autumn apologized twice, but I think I would've warned any potential guests before they arrived if the tables were turned.

Regardless, very happy to stay & would do it again. Thank you, Autumn!
