The appartment and the service are ok and clean, not bad for the price. However, there are some imprecisions in the description of the appartment that should be clarified:

1) It is not true that the appartment is 20 minutes far from Manhattan; you have to walk almost 10 minutes to the station, usually wait at least for 10 minutes to the J/Z trains, and then 22 minutes to the first stations of Manhatan. Therefore, it takes around 40-45 minutes in average just to reach Manhattan. If you want to go to West side, Midtown, central park, or other turistic places you need to change the train, which supose other 10-15 minutes for changing, plus other 15-20 minutes in the train to reach the final destination. A total of 60 minutes is the average that you need to count to move from the appartment to most of the places in Manhatan, and by night (with less trains) could be even more.

2) The description does not say that there are 9 rooms in the house. I don't know if all of them are available for renting, but we found a lot of guests in the house. It is more a hostel than a "private room in a house". I don't think this house is a bad option (price and quality are quite good), but I personally would not stay here if I would know all this. Our room was next to the kitchen/living room, which is often frequented by all the guests, and as usual the "crowds" not always respect the rules for silence (indeed more than once every day we had an issue with the noise of other guests).

3) The first night we passed in the house (very tired after several days of travelling) a very impolite neighbor switched the music on in his house garden, from 7pm to 2am! It was very noisy and the only solution given by the housekeeper was telling us to use eartaps. There is a box with eartaps in the entrance of the house, at disposal for the guests. As soon as we saw this we imagined that we were going to suffer of noise, as it was during all the stay (party neighbors and crowdy kitchen/living room).

We had not a bad experience at all, but I was about to chose another appartment in Manhattan and finally we decided to change it for this in Brooklin just because we liked the description of the appartment and the hosts.
