Overall, John’s place was fine - location in Bushwick is a 6 minute walk to the JZ trains and there are enough stores nearby. The actual room is crowded with stuff but organized. While John seems like a pleasant dude, the experience could’ve been more seamless.
My main issues are with check-in and the roommate situation. Upon arriving, the trip details page had the wrong check-in keycode so I couldn’t access the keys to get into the building. After a long journey there, it was a very stressful experience. John responded but several hours later.
Secondly, there are 3 roommates (which aren’t mentioned in the listing). For a few nights, the roommates either had a guest sleep in the living room or brought over 1 - 10 guests at once to hang out at night.
Lastly, the room faces the street and so expect to be woken up often by the roar of the train. Definitely bring ear plugs!!
