Unfortunately this place was a let-down and a big disappointment. Don’t get me wrong, David is very accommodating and helpful, kind, nice and so was his girlfriend which is why it pains me to write this review. But facts are facts and in the interest of transparency I’ll state them the way they were without exaggeration. The apartment is not only very old, but very very dirty. We had a very yucky feeling for the entire duration of our stay and tried to stay outside the apartment for as long as we could. The light bulb in the ceiling was almost dead but not quite so it was a very annoying strobe light, and naturally we kept it off for the sake of our sanities, and the apartment was way too dark. It is also slanted, crooked, and leaning! I’m telling you, drop some balls and marbles on the floor and they’ll start rolling. The sink is dirty, the hot water and cold water faucets are separate, the bathroom had a strong odor and on our second day the apartment building was smoking.. half an hour later no less than three fire trucks and two dozen firemen showed up and ran inside the building, we were very uneasy, quickly packing up not knowing if the building is on fire or not and if we should evacuate. The radiators don’t turn off when you turn the knob to “close” so we actually had to open windows while we slept because the apartment gets really really hot with the radiators on (but we are definitely happy we weren’t freezing). We were very uncomfortable because the apartment is obviously not cared for, David has the place booked all the time, the guests before us checked out at noon and we arrived at 2:00 pm, and the guests after us checked in a few hours after we left, so there is never any time for him to do anything about these issues from my understanding. As far as the location goes it is indeed in Bay ridge part of Brooklyn, but it’s at the end of the world. Expect to spend an hour on public transportation (N or R train) to get anywhere close to manhattan or anywhere worth seeing in NYC. And it will be at least 45 minutes to an hour in an uber and do expect to pay an arm and a leg for that. We paid $320 for two nights (NYE) and we were three people. I understand that it’s not reasonable to blame the host for things like the apartment being slanted/crooked, but seriously, that rug has to go, spend some money renovating that bathroom and the whole apartment, change light bulbs.. the entire place was very disgusting, yucky, and we felt unclean the entire time we were there and only one of us showered there just once. All-in-all, we would definitely never stay at this place again and I could not recommend it to anyone in good conscience....
