Be prepared for a noisy area - the subway is literally right outside the window. There are sound proof windows but this does not cancel out the noise completely. Please also be aware there is no thermostat to alter the temperature. Bring your own fans in the winter - the heat is blasting. Also be prepared for a host that is non-responsive to issues regarding the reservation, he is not very easy to work with resolving issues. I would recommend calling AirBNB for any issues that arise. Great apartment, kind of in a sketchy area, but worth the money for a whole apartment in Brooklyn.
