Our hosts Julian and Karen were very nice and welcoming even with us arriving late past our check in time. The surrounding neighborhood isn't the best, and can be a little scary at night walking back from the subway. But everything you need is within walking distance; a laundromat around the corner and a supermarket and the J train just down the block. They have private parking in the front which made it VERY convenient. The apartment was well stocked with everything that we might need, but the floors seemed a little dirty and it looked like the place hasn't been dusted in a while. There was no AC, but there were 4 fans going constantly at all times which made it a little bearable but still pretty hot. And the wifi connection was horrible, which made it a little inconvenient. Overall, it was a good place to stay for the price and pretty close by to most of the boroughs.
