Ron is a great, friendly guy who goes above and beyond, even helping me see the city when he was free. The room is, as stated, huge -- it's a converted living room with a makeshift sliding door for privacy (no lock). The window unit A/C worked well enough for me; I like the white noise, personally. It's an older building, and we had a little difficulty with the shower knobs and the apartment door lock, so just make sure to get instructions on how to finesse them. :) The neighbors are friendly, and the building is within reasonable walking distance of a few subway stations as well as Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Brooklyn Museum. I wish I had more time there!
