The property is located in the heart of Bushwick. The area is lovely: there are a few delis where you can buy food even after midnight, and you can choose between two different subway lines that are about 12-15 minutes of walking away. We stayed during the mid-fall, it was relatively cold. The first night we had a problem sleeping because the heater starts working at around 7 am for a brief moment and make the basement extremely hot. We asked for a portable heater and it was provided. The pictures of the basement are outdated, the place had a TV in front of the bed, and a few things were rearranged. The stairs to the basement are a little concerning for elderly people. The microwave had leftovers of pizza or some kind of food cooked into the ceiling. It was super gross. The bathroom was recently remodeled, so it's a nice walk-in shower. However, we spotted a few little roaches on the floor, which is not uncommon. Around the property, we have seen a lot of rats. The bed was old and not very comfortable. It's a basement, but it's super bright in the morning starting around 6 am. It doesn't have blackout curtains, so if you are struggling with jet lag I recommend bringing a sleep mask. The small refrigerator hasn't been defrosted lately, had a large piece of ice built inside of it, and didn't work that well because of it - some of our food went bad. Overall, the place has a convenient location and affordable price, but you get what you are paying for.
