First of all, Zhenya is a great guy, easy-going, with a proper sense of humour ) I felt very comfortable staying in his apartment for a month, really like at home. Moreover, Zhenya was most of the time at work, so I felt like I'm renting the whole flat )
The room is huge, with a proper bed (matress & orthopedic pillows), spacious wardrobe, wooden desk & chair, leather sofa and coffee table. It's really like having your own studio. There are two big windows, with a pair of thick curtains for those who like to wake up late ) The proper size bathroom was quite clean, like renovated. The kithchen had everything you might need. On top of that, there is Sonos sound system in the apartment, so you can work, cook or take a shower — all with your favourite music. When you stay there for a while, it really matters )
The building is relatively old with its perks and drawbacks. It's a beautiful brick house, with art deco hall, wooden floors and classic cast iron radiators (but those radiators are going to sing you songs half a night sometimes)). There even was an elevator.
The location is perfect. The nearest subway station is just around the corner. Mahnattan or Williamsburg is about 20 min away. Porspect Park, amazing historic districts, Brooklyn Botanical Garden are within walking distance.
By the way, there were two funny and curious ginger cats, whom I had pleasure to feed from time to time ;)
