Building is in a neighborhood where the majority of residents are Hasidic Jews, so it feels very different from many other parts of NYC, but it seems very safe. The nearest subway station is on the G line and is a 15-minute walk away. You can get to midtown Manhattan in about 45 minutes with a transfer. The G line will get you to downtown Brooklyn or central Williamsburg in 25 minutes.
Big flat screen TVs in both bedroom and living room, which were a big plus. I was able to binge many shows on Amazon Prime and Netflix. The hosts kindly provided me access to these streaming services.

Kitchen has many pots, pans, silverware and condiments, but seems to be missing deeper plates and bowls. There are many takeout options in the area that are relatively crazy affordable (for NYC standards). There is laundry in the basement of the building.
The sofas and bed are super comfortable, but there is no dedicated work space in the apartment. We had to sit on the floor and place our laptops on the coffee table, which wasn’t the most comfortable. Would suggest adding at least a desk and a chair in the living room.
The walls are thin. Drilling noises from the floor above were a nuisance because they sometimes started as early as 7 or 8 in the morning. Not much the hosts can do about this, but they did inform me that this happens because it’s a new building and many condos are still under construction. The neighbors were sometimes blasting music at night.
Overall a good stay, and the hosts were friendly and responsive.
