The apartment is located in an unfriendly area of Brooklyn. It was not nice to walk around the area at night. The subway from JFK airport to the station near the apartment was nearly empty at 10pm and we did not feel safe. However, when we arrived we find nice people that helped us to find Felisha’s apartment.
Felisha was not at home and she didn’t provided the details for check in before.
We needed to go back to the subway station to get WIFI to talk to Felisha. She answered immediately and explain us that we should use the key that was in the locker box outside. We then manage to enter in the building and find out which apartment was hers.
It all solved quickly but since the area is not friendly at night we didn’t want to go backwards and forwards with our bags. All we wanted after leaving the subway was an easy and quick check-in.
The area has some shops and cafes and a good supermarket but still is not a nice place to walk around during the day.
It is just a place that you would go for sleep. We visited NY right after Christmas for new year’s eve and the hotel prices in Manatan were really high.
The house is old and the apartment’s smell is not nice. The bedroom was fine, clean and quite, except when someone arrived late in the night at the apartment. I understand that if you are sharing a house you have to get use with other people noise but still was more than two times and if you have guests you should try to make less noise when arriving at 5 am.
The apartment and the overall experience was not what we was expecting. I would only recommend if you have no other cheaper options in a better area.
