Not bad for the price, but I wouldn’t stay here again. I had no contact with the host which was totally fine with me, so I have no feedback on him. We arrived at about 4am (road trip, as mentioned to host before arriving) and tried to get some rest. We had people standing right outside of our window talking! I’m a NYer and was back home visiting. I didn’t, in any way, expect radio silence 24/7, but when you have a 9pm noise curfew applied to your stay, you assume, at the very least, you have quiet neighbors. Wasn’t the case.
It smelled like a stale basement in the space (and it never stopped), which explains the wide open window when we arrived. The problem with that was there weren’t any screens in any of the windows and we came in to bugs. The toilet seat wasn’t secured to the base, so it just slid around. The toilet area is uncomfortable enough because of the size (if you’re not tiny/a child you’ll likely feel like you’re in a porta-potty). And while the shower had a fabric curtain for privacy it didn’t have a liner, so it was impossible to keep the floors outside of the shower dry! There’s also no place to hang towels. One of the faucet handles for the kitchenette wasn’t secure, so it would just pop off when used. The very bare minimum is supplied which wasn’t a huge deal, just unusual. There were massive spoons and knives, but no forks, a fitted bedsheet, but no top sheet or blankets and it accommodates two guests, but there was only one full sized bath towel, just to point out a few of the odd pairings/decisions.
Perks were location. Right across the street from the apartment is a grassy area, so it is relatively calm despite being in Brooklyn. This was near everything I needed. It’s just a quick ride to the beach, Caribbean food is endless in this area and there’s the expected conveniences of Brooklyn (grocery stores, transportation not too far, etc). Finding parking wasn’t terrible for Brooklyn, but it’s obnoxious that there’s no access to the driveway because it was empty the entire time we were there. Again, the price worked for a quickly planned trip, but I can’t see myself staying here again.
