We were quite disappointed by the location and the cleanest of this apartment. Be aware that this apartment is located very far from all the cool neighborhoods in Brooklyn. There is no fun streets around, no nice little cafe or stores .... It took us 1 hour 30 minutes by subway to get to Williamsburg one morning and about 45 minutes by cab to Brooklyn Height or Williamsburg (and trafic, trafic, everywhere, all day, all night). On Thursday night, we were trying to get a cab to go to dinner and we couldn't find one !!! We had to go to a store close by so that they could call us a cab ... We felt like we were in the suburbs of Brooklyn ... Also, I think the apartment needs a very good cleaning and especially a vaccum !!! It was the dirtiest apartment I have rented on Airbnb so far, it's livable though ...
Also, one night, one of the tenant of that building locked the door downstairs, so we were locked outside for about an hour ! But, we understand that it's not the host fault ... She should just maybe consider leaving a key to her guests to avoid that kind of situation. And that next morning, they were doing renovation next door which felt like it was in our rooms ... the banging and the radio of the workers ... They started at 7 am ...
Not a great experience unfortunately !

Sandy was great though, very responsive and available, even at 1 am.
