Apartment was in a nice location in Brooklyn. One minute walk to the subway, and one minute walk to things like pizza, bagel shop, bar, etc. Area felt very safe.
Apartment was large with four bedrooms, which were nice for a family of six. Very good value for the space.
Apartment shared a common indoor staircase with the host, which was a non-issue. (On this occasion, the host was out of town but he had a guest in his apartment, and we only saw him one time).
The host was communicative and allowed us a bag drop off before self check-in, which was very nice and accommodating.
Apartment was clean.
The only issue was a mildew scent in the basement bedroom.
