John's place is conveniently located near two subway lines in Brooklyn - great for a short to mid-term stay. The place has all the basic amenities you need to have a good stay including basic cooking ingredients, coffee, and bathroom toiletries. John offered flexible cancellation and easy check-in. Wi-fi, shower, and other necessities worked fine. There were space heaters and a/c but as we were there in the spring didn't need either. We were in town for a wedding and asked ahead of time if an iron will be available which was included.
Unfortunately, the down-side was after I arrived there was an entrance with a seemingly broken lock. I messaged John to have it checked out which he initially responded. However, we never heard back again and never had it checked out or fixed. We were busy with wedding things so we just trusted the neighborhood was safe enough and that the lock wasn't actually broken. Ultimately, nothing happened to our things and we hope things have been fixed since.
