Joana was a responsive and friendly host. The space was clean, well-lit, and open. The bedroom has a personal A.C. unit. The apartment is conveniently located -- a supermarket is across the street and the subway is a quick five-minute walk away. It's also located in a trendy area of Brooklyn. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. It's a perfect space for a single traveler or a young couple.
If you plan on visiting in the summer, be aware that the main area does not have air conditioning. During my stay, I was largely unable to use the living room, with the exception of using the restroom or the refrigerator. I assume that this wouldn't be as big of an issue during the fall and the winter. You also share the space with three roommates (all of whom were friendly and accommodating), so this apartment is for people who don't mind making friends.
Overall, this is a great place with tremendous value for the price listed. I will use it again if I come back to New York.
