Timo's place is in an older style building and the apartment itself has a lot of character, wooden floorboards, carefully selected artistic pictures on the walls throughout the apartment, which is a really nice touch!
The room I stayed in was spacious, comfy double bed, just make sure that you are aware the radiator will make a lot of noise around 7am, Timo specifies this in his welcome letter, but I read over it quickly and woke up quite startled!
The location is great if you have time to explore etc. I walked to Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights easily within 15-20mins from the apartment and all main tubes going uptown are roughly a 10 min walk.
However, please prepare that journeys uptown will take about 20-30mins on the subway, which I had no problem with at all, but then I had a lot of free time to explore! So time was not an issue, just at night time as a young female it can feel like a very long journey heading home, just something to keep in mind.
Finally, Timo was super helpful with my check-in and out, he let me check-in earlier drop my bags off with no extra charge, as many other people do on Airbnb which I really do not agree with. He was super responsive and very polite always through messages! Great host, he even made a little guide to nearby places and info about the apartment which was a lovely touch! Thank you Timo!
