This place is an excellent value, Esin was very responsive and accommodating, the neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe without being too far from the city. It was a bit like visiting a college student - makeshift bed sheets and one old threadbare towel, but the bed is super comfy and I had a nice fluffy duvet, so I slept fine.
The plumbing in the house is not great and that was a surprise and inconvenience for me - both the toilet and the shower have issues (be prepared to put your tp in a trash can that may or may not be already full). The house is very creaky (bring earplugs), the temperature was uncontrollable (radiator on, window open in dec, still too hot), the blinds don't fully cover the window (bring an eye mask), and the bedroom door does not totally close and will randomly pop open (I had already rolled up a dirty rug so I used that to keep the door closed). I'm sure many of these issues are standard for old NYC houses, but were a surprise for me.
It's still an amazing value in a safe place a very quick walk to the 7 train, bodegas, and bars, and I would absolutely stay here again...just with a different set of expectations.
