We had a great experience staying with Eli for 3 nights while in town to see a concert. Eli is a very respectful and kind host. Eli's apartment is in an older building, but is clean and spacious in the common area. The bedroom is small, but this wasn't a problem for us as we only planned on being at the apartment for short periods of time as we spent the days exploring the city.
The room comes with an AC that works well and available closet space, as well as a desk. The pets were a pleasure to have around. The cats are very sweet and friendly, but they sometimes will jump on the shelves so you should not leave anything fragile there.
The apartment is conveniently located next to several deli / corner stores and restaurants, as well as a subway station with a direct line to Times Square in one direction, and the NYC Aquarium and Coney Island boardwalks in the other.
The room has a lot of value for the pricepoint and we would recommend this to anybody travelling to the area that needs basic accommodations when in town to explore the city. We will be looking up this listing when we next travel to NYC / Brooklyn!
Thanks Eli!
