We had a good stay here in Brooklyn. The place was very spacious, clean, and close to the subway which was great. The pictures are exactly how it looks. The area is ok, nothing to see super close, but Manhattan is an easy 40 min. subway ride. We just walked to and from the subway and felt fairly safe as four girls walking in the area. The only downside was how much you could here in the other rooms and upstairs. The walls were not sound proof at all, you could hear everything in the next room and noise from upstairs. This was never a huge issue except for being woken up one morning from it. Overall for the price and easy access to Manhattan it was a perfect stay for us.
