Really great space for the price! It's directly across the street from the subway, so incredibly convenient for getting around. Plenty of interesting stuff nearby too (Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, cafes, grocery store, etc) There is certainly seeping space for 8, but note it would definitely be a bit tight for that many folks with 1 bathroom, a small kitchen, and the 4th bed in the living space. That said, it was a great spot for our group of three to be based as we explored both Brooklyn and Manhattan.
