This place may be best for people with simple hygiene standards. It's the personal residence of the host and located in a convenient part of Brooklyn.
We were greeted by the host and a friend when we checked in late at night (flight delay). It was an uniquely decorated and simple studio apartment. There was a small amount of paper towels, tissue and a throughly utilized nub of a soap bar with no extras in the venue. We also were given one face towel and two body towels (personal towels of the host) for a five day stay. The studio was less than clean and the living room blanket was stained. We asked about amenities and cleanliness lacking and were told that people used one towel for a month and didn't complain. There was no attempt to fix this on the host's part.
It was clear that they were maybe not prepared to host and had beenj staying there minutes before we arrived. We were supposed to self check-in and have basic things any host provides via airbnb policy.
We didn't stay for long, but the view was nice as advertised. The host is very communicative.
