Cons: 1) It's a ground floor unit and it's clear Albert has some pets of his own (or maybe it was just a previous guest?) but regardless, it was pretty musty/smelly when we arrived. You get used to it, and opening the back door helped. 2) It's a little run down, especially the bathroom and kitchen need some grout work, that sort of thing. 3) Not much in the way of natural light. 4) It's one of those places where Albert clearly actually lives in the apartment, and it's _full_ of stuff. Not as much storage space for guest items. Cluttered vibe.
Pros: 1) amazing location, the park is great and super close, and there are _several_ subway lines that go through the area so it's easy to get into any particular part of Manhattan or Brooklyn you want to go 2) _great_ value, really inexpensive, especially for a pet-friendly place with a backyard. 3) Easy access and easy communication. Stress-free as it could be. 4) Nice queen bed. Slept like a baby.
Overall a totally fine experience, especially for the price.
