Honestly it was pretty nice. It's a regular room in a quieter area of Bushwick. It was also nice having a backyard in NY - good for artists and folks who make mixed media stuff who want a space outdoors. Just keep in mind its kinda far from Maria Hernandez and subways (best bet was usually Wilson Ave). But there is other stuff nearby that I needed (artist & craftsman supply, hardware stores, sweet deli on the corner) Just be prepared that it's not the cleanest!! Roaches were around and sometimes would scurry out of the microwave when I opened it or even the FRIDGE! Yum!!
