I enjoyed my short stay in Brooklyn with Dennis. The check in was easy and I was shown everything around the apartment around my room for the night. I personally liked that my host doesn't allow shoes in her home and asks guests to wash hands. After touching suwbay handles/rails it's only a smart reminder. This was also why I chose this airbnb. I thoght that this person would be give a little more attention to cleanliness. (you hear about bedbugs in big cities) so this gave me a good feeling that the room/mattress would be clean and it was! The room I was in had a nice size closet, shelves a desk for my use. i was only there for 1 night but that would have been useful for a longer stay. There was an air conditioner unit in my room, I do get hot at night as well as a fan. We do have to share a bathroom and it was kept clean during my short stay. The artwork in the bathroom (spraypaint) does give you alot to look at while you use the bathrroom. HA. I like to rent rooms because I often get food that needs refrigeration so I liked having access to a kitchen. my host did offer snacks and a few items. I read other reviews on airbnb and yes this host post rules but I believe it is to benefit all the guests I did not take offense. Maybe because I am older or just like to follow the rules. I asked the host if I could leave my bags for a short while I was waiting for my ride and my host was accomodating. Check out was easy. Typical of an old Brooklyn flat, its a 4 flight walk up and shows its age but the charm, location, cleanliness, spaciousness and hosptiality make up for blemishes. Definitely great stay in Brooklyn.
