This place is not for everyone but it is if you're looking for a great location with a great value and a host that responds to your questions. It's in a cool neighborhood (Park Slope) that has a lot of places that are easy walks. 5th Ave is half a block away and has a lot of things to do. A couple of breweries are walkable. Good Italian bakeries are 20 minute walks. Subway is 0.3 miles away. So the location is great. The place itself is basic. Plenty of space for 2 people but nothing fancy. My only wish would have been a TV but , really, I wasn't there a lot so I didn't miss it too much. Seemed to be in a safe and secure building and in a nice neighborhood. If "amenities" are what you're looking for this place isn't for you. If a great value is and you need a place to lay your head at night then this is a great place. The host was very responsive to my questions and made the check-in process easy.
