There are two big and comfortable beds, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook meals. You have your own entrance and can come and go as you wish. There is a small backyard with table and chairs for outdoor dining, which is nice. The downside is that you are sharing the kitchen and bathroom with another (permanent) tenant, but she is very quiet and you don't see her much as she works daytime and spends the evenings in her room. One thing I wasn't really aware of was the traveling time to Manhattan. It takes about an hour to get to mid Manhattan. But there are a lot of nice and interesting places in Brooklyn which are much closer than Manhattan :)
The neighborhood is safe and quiet, and there is a grocery store and a subway station just a couple of blocks away. There are restaurants and small shops nearby as well. Yves is very friendly and helpful if you need help or advice. He took us on a tour of the neighborhood the evening we arrived, and gave us lots of tips of places to go.
