I really enjoyed this place! My room was bright, simple, quiet and felt like a sanctuary in the busyness of Brooklyn. Max, my host was quick to respond to my texts and introduced himself immediately. The description of the place was spot on. Directions on how to access the room were very clear. There is a key for access to the building, another for the apartment and another for the room. I felt very secure staying here. it added to my comfort level. This is a shared space; there is a nice common area and kitchen with all the basics but not a lot of cookware/serving ware or small appliances (coffeemaker etc).
