We were overall disappointed with our stay at Simme’s house. The area was ok and perfectly safe (there are some great coffee shops - albeit it’s a bit suburban) but the house itself is not comfortable. The couch is purely decorative and not at all comfortable. The bed is old and creaky, the sheets don’t fit properly and are synthetic, and the air conditioner is so loud it kept us awake at night. However, the worst part was that Simme let herself in one day unannounced and surprised my husband who was sick and trying to get some rest. She was impolite and seemed suspicious of us which is absurd. Coming in unannounced with no warning is totally unacceptable. She didn’t even ring the bell. When we left, she opened the door, scowled at us and then shut the door again. I would not recommend you stay here as it’s just not worth it. It’s uncomfortable, the host is unfriendly and obtrusive, and the area is ok but there are better places in Brooklyn.
