If you want something unique, this is it! First off, Janet and David are very sweet hosts. They live just upstairs, so it's nice to know that if you need them for anything, they're right there. The unit itself is definitely an old shipping container - there's no doubt about that! It's a good fit for two adults and maybe a third if they don't mind sleeping on a futon. We had three adults and a baby and made it work, but we wished there was a separate walled-off area for the baby to sleep in. So keep this in mind if you're traveling with a little one as you might have to get creative. As for the neighborhood, the apartment isn't smack in the middle of shops and restaurants, but everything you need is just a stone's throw or two away. We wanted to experience Brooklyn and that's what we got!
