Overall mate, a pretty disappointing AirBnB experience to be frank. We hate being the bearer of bad news because it looks like we are the first people to leave an average review.
Oliver's apartment is located in an awesome part of Brooklyn. Close to some great bars and cafes. Oliver gave us some superb recommendations re places to eat in the neighbourhood. The L-train is only 5-7min walk away too so super easy to get into Manhatten.
The room for rent is Oliver' room. So you won't actually meet him. We think he has two other roommates - although we never met them only heard them in the apartment late at night. His bed is ridiculously comfortable!
The bathroom and shower were not very clean. It's such a small thing but left such an impression on us.
The three flights of stairs up to the apartment aren't a crazy big hurdle if your strong and fit. But if you find it difficult to carry your suitcase/bag up lots of stairs you might struggle.
The price of this place is hard to beat though. So if you're looking for a room to rent that is extremely cost effective, and you don't mind the other bits and pieces, this is for you.
