This is not the one, trust me.
The place is very small and VERY dark. The pictures are definitely deceptive- it’s essentially one big room with no dining room. Only has two small windows: one looks out onto another building and offers zero light, the other looks out onto the very busy (and loud) street. The only furniture is a couch, bed, dresser, and tv tables. There’s no dining room table or table in the living room.
The neighborhood is….not the nicest. It’s very loud, people blast music in the building way past midnight, there’s people out in the streets at all hours. There’s also trash everywhere in the streets and it’s far from basically anything else in Brooklyn. Unless you’re doing something in the neighborgood, expect a 45+ travel time.
The place was not very clean when we got there, but it was cheap and available so we went with it. You get what you pay for though.
By the end of it, we left 2 days early because we were so ready to leave. I will say “Yahighnes” did give us a full refund on the nights we didn’t end up staying, but he couldn’t figure out how to accept the Airbnb request and ended up sending the money via a third party app. Not super professional and he seems to struggle with the Airbnb platform in general.
The apartment itself doesn’t have a working oven. There’s no a/c besides a small in the kitchen and a tiny little window fan in the bedroom. The best place just doesn’t get very cool (we did stay in the middle of the summer). There’s not a lot of cookware or things like plates/utensils. It was also very obvious that someone had been leaving there recently: closet full of clothes, leftover pet supplies, a drawer full of weed (legal) and shrooms (not so legal), and a whole array of bathroom products and food (not in a good way).
To add insult to injury though, “Yahighnes” requested $600(!) at the end of our visit because, as he said, our dogs had left fur on the couch and a plastic toilet paper holder was “missing” (it wasn’t there to start). Not sure how any of that was worth $600 when the place is listed as dog friendly and none of the “furniture” is worrh $600 to begin with lol Needless to say, we did not accept that request. It was just a great example of how ridiculously bad this stay was.
If you are able to book anywhere else, I’d highly recommend it. It’s fine if you absolutely have no other options, but it was a rough stay with a rougher host.
