The room was clean and as shown in the photos. The location felt safe and it was easy to walk around Brooklyn and the subway was only and 8 min walk away. The bathroom is not ensuite, but just outside the room, however it is not shared with anyone else. The floor contains another guest room and a shared kitchenette space, but has a private entrance for just that floor. Therefore I'd recommend earplugs and a night mask for sleeping as the common kitchenette has the general light on at all times and you never know if the other guests will be noisy. The place could use a little sprucing up but it was clean and affordable and perfect as a home base to see the city.
