Pervaiz was a very responsive host and always responds promptly to messages and inquiries. The apartment is exactly as pictured and is very nice. Central AC was on point! It was in the 90s the whole weekend we were there. The area is interesting because it's undergoing a lot of gentrification (like many parts of Brooklyn) and has a completely different feel during the day vs. the night but not dangerous in our experience. Great place to stay if you want to explore Brooklyn (we spent most of our weekend in Williamsburg) - though you're going to have to Uber/cab there and just minutes to the Kingston-Throop stop if you want to go into the city, though we ended up waiting a while for the trains.
