The apartment was beautiful and clean. Despite being in the city, it was a very quiet neighborhood. I took frequent evening walks and had easy access to public transit to get to other Brooklyn neighborhoods as well as Manhattan. Some of the other folks renting rooms were a little noisy at night, but it was as if I had the place to myself during the day. I never had to wait for the bathroom or to use the kitchen and the utilities were functional and accessible. Always had hot water, never had issues with the stove. Paolo also provided a small personal heater which also doubled as the perfect noise machine to drown out any neighbors. Paolo also made it easy for me to drop my luggage off early and I knew that if I had any issues he would respond quickly and kindly. I couldn’t recommend this spot more.
