This is a standard case of you get what you pay for.
Super affordable place for large parties to stay which is a huge plus. The amenities are bare basics and nothing fancy.
Rooms are a good size for NYC.
Some pieces of furniture were well worn, others seem brand new. Appears the host is continuing to make improvements, which is great.
It is a pretty far walk from the A line, but still felt pretty safe even late at night. Street was also very quiet.
There are grocery stores at each end of the block, which was convenient.
We had some frustration with the fitted sheets coming off every night, leaving us sleeping on the uncovered mattress, which appeared new, but still not a pleasant situation. I encouraged the host to get mattress covers for the beds and some deeper pocketed sheets. Hopefully they do.
Host did not respond to any form of contact when we accidentally locked ourselves out one morning. After a couple of hours with no return contact, we eventually called a locksmith. We buzzed the first floor apartment to ask them to let us through the main door, and it turned out to be the host who gave us a spare set of keys but we still ended up having to pay the locksmith because for driving to the location. Host never mentioned us trying to contact him.
Summary: cheap place to stay in Brooklyn. Worth what they charge.
