I stayed few weeks in that apartment and it felt like home. It is very well equipped, the host was very helpful and provided lots of tips. I had a full on Brooklyn experience and lived like a local in a typical NYC railroad apartment. The location was great. I could walk to the L, G and JMZ train stations to go into Manhatten. Trendy Williamsburg is 10min walk, and upcoming East Williamsburg and Bushwick is walkable or just few train stops away. At first glance the street is not the most charming one, but it is also up and coming. The entire block is under development and changing, plus ad most important full of really amazing but affordable restaurants. Best taco food truck of the entire city is also just around the corner. Would definitely come back and recommend it to get a real and authentic Brooklyn experience off the tourist tracks.
