Berni as a host is good and does everything to make you feel comfortable and the area is vibrant and easy to settle in. Commute access to manhattan is really a perk !
As far as the room goes, be prepared to compromise. Room is tiny, the flooring isn’t flat, everything is a hack and super old. Although the room has a backyard access which is good to get an escape from the room and get a fresh breath of air. Bring your own sheets though cuz you don’t wanna use the sheets provided.
Cooking wasn’t allowed for me in the kitchen and it’s very dirty.
Also, something I wasn’t aware of initially is the host lives in the same space and uses it often so that’s a bit weird. Overall it doesn’t feel as private.
Bathroom is shared between 3 people and sometimes the host, it’s dirty overall. She doesn’t provide the basics like hand soap so bring some of your own stuff.
This is an honest review, pls book at your discretion.
