I’d happily stay here again. As far as New York pricing goes, this is excellent value. It is a long trip into the city, but if you plan for the extra time each day it’s manageable. The host gave me plenty of privacy, and the shared bathroom was free most of the time.
The neighborhood is perfectly fine during daytime, but at night time have your wits about you- it is Brooklyn after all, and it can seem a little scary at times. If you take the bus or Uber back from the station, you’ll be fine.
