This is a basic, simple place. It's in the East New York/New Lots neighbourhood. The rate of crime is technically high, but primarily due to grand theft auto, so I wouldn't recommend having a car here - other than that, it's safe to walk outside to get groceries, or to take the subway. But you don't need a car! It's a 90 second walk to the 3 line, about 35-40 minutes into Lower Manhattan. As for the apartment, it's very bare-bones but rather comfortable - a good sofa with Netflix, gas stovetop, and a comfortable bed. The owner responds quickly and the place is well kept. If you're looking for a chic, artsy loft in an adventurous area, this is NOT the place for you - however, it doesn't pretend to be. It's a cheap place that's plenty comfortable enough for a traveller just wanting a place to crash with decent proximity into the city. I had a nice 2-night stay. Thank you kindly!
