This place was a great value for money. We were a couple visiting from Toronto during the week of July 4th.
The apartment itself was clean with no bugs, roaches or rats inside. We did see a lot on the street outside.
The bed was comfortable with clean sheets. We were also given two sets of towels but more would have been nice.
The temperature was in 90s and the air conditioning would take at least 30 mins to cool the space. The AC unit is placed away from the bed which we thought was inconvenient.
The apartment is about 4 mins walk from the subway station which is awesome. The Q train takes about 35 mins to the Times square/42nd st station and about 20 mins to the coney island. both ways was fantastic.
The late night walk from the station to the apartment was somewhat safe. The street is well-lit and it looks like a peaceful neighbourhood. New York/Brooklyn are big cities and can be shady at times. There are three doors that we had to unlock and get in which made it feel safer inside the apartment.
There is a convenience store and laundry right outside the subway station.
We were given good walkthrough about the area, amenities and the apartment. A sheet of instructions was provided which was easy to follow and straight fwd.
The bathroom shower had mould and needed more cleaning. We did not use the kitchen sink, stove, or microwave. The fridge worked fine and we only used it to keep drinking water bottles.
With the AC unit running, you may not hear the train noise, but when in bathroom or kitchen you could hear it very clearly. Again, if you are light sleeper it can be a problem.
Overall, it is a great value for your money. Very convenient and a big space.
