Really enjoyed my stay, felt like a home away from home. Very large place, two large couches, large table to eat and work on, plenty of chairs, kitchen has everything you need. Lot of styling and fun knick knacks, plants, pictures on the wall, area rugs. Pretty good upright spinet piano (I used it for rehearsing for a big show in NY), decent acoustic guitar. (I'm a professional musician, so very picky about the instruments).
Great location (2 1/2 blocks from the L train - Montrose avenue, I could be in Union square in 20 minutes after walking out the door). Good neighborhood with restaurants. I could be in the shopping area in Williamsburg in 15 mins from walking out the door.
Raviv was very communicative, and had cool neighbors, one of whom was very helpful.
When I first arrived, it looked very industrial, and I was wondering if I was in the right place. But I easily found the key and got in and quickly got comfortable with the industrial vibe of the neighborhood and street. Meserole street near the apt has a bunch of night clubs/bars right on the street and right around the corner. At night it was pretty quiet, but every once in a while, a crowd of folks made noise outside at night, but only briefly, didn't bother me at all. It could get a bit noisy during the day with a workshop downstairs and I occasionally heard neighbors playing music, or other apt noises like banging and occasionally water running, but it was pretty short lived. And it made it easier for me to feel OK playing the piano or guitar / singing.
Bed was really comfortable, one of the best I've slept in. It's up in a loft with very little headroom, so need to be careful if more than one person in the bed.
Could use a dresser, I had to be creative to put all my clothes away (I had a lot of clothes). I was able to use the closet in the front, but there was stuff in the closet, some of which I had to move out and put back in to get full use of the closet.
Kitchen was great, just wasn't sure if the convection oven, which looked like a microwave, had any microwave capabilities, so I didn't use it.
Shower is strong and hot/warm.
