There are not many hotels in Bushwick, so this was a great option when we needed to be in the area last week. The place was very clean with a recently updated kitchen and bathroom. It was also pretty quiet, and we were not bothered by subway sounds or neighbors (though we do sleep with a white noise machine.)
A few notes for transparency about the apartment and the neighborhood:
- The kitchen tools and cookware are pretty bare boned, so it would be hard to do a lot of cooking there. Luckily, it's New York so we wanted to eat out every night anyway. For us, the kitchen faucet was malfunctioning, but I made a note to the owner so hopefully they'll repair it soon.
- The living room furniture is not the most comfortable to sit on for a long period of time. It worked just fine for us, but I would not have wanted to stay there for a long term stay and not have a comfy couch or chairs to lounge on.
- The nearby coffee shops didn't open until 9:00 which we thought was weird. However, if you get desperate the host has a Keurig machine for your use.
- I don't know much about New York neighborhoods, but my local sibling told me that this neighborhood can be a little dodgy. For the most part, the walk to the Myrtle subway stop is pretty busy/populated except the Airbnb's street which is quieter. So just be careful if you walk alone at night.
Overall. this would be a very decent option for someone looking to stay in this neighborhood.
