The apartment was pretty much exactly what was shown and described, except we had cockroaches in the kitchen (not shown in picture). Host was not helpful or sympathetic during this situation and cost us the price of another place to stay for our last night once we left and a few hours' worth of shaking out our belongings. Her lack of sympathy and "cockroaches are common in NYC" made the problem much more frustrating than it needed to be.

Aside from that (and that's a very LARGE "aside" since an infestation is a big deal)...

PROs: free parking, spacious rental, relatively close to subway (10 min walk)

CONs: this isn't the "hip" part of Brooklyn: there's virtually nothing open at night and it's impossible to get a cab in a timely fashion. Also spotty internet.
