Pleasant, hospitable, host. Very cool diy style artsy space in a great location making it easy to get to park slope, williamsburg and nyc by bike or train. Two good restaurants a bodega and a great cafe in spitting distance. The place was private and fairly quiet except for some footfalls and such overhead, as you might expect. Cool space to crash at and to sleep in - with nice mood lighting and sun coming through the garden. No other windows in this basement pad. The garden, unfortunately, was entirely unusable bc of the ravenous bugs. Shower handles are very finicky and difficult to get just right. Vanity lights uncomfortably hot. Bed is pretty painful to sleep on unless you're used to a very soft mattress. Knitpicking aside, we had a great stay and would recommend for sure.
