This is a fairly bare bones basement apartment which has the simple basics needed for a Brooklyn stay. Exposed piping, unpainted wood planks, bare lightbulbs and tile flooring lend it a stark feel and the bathroom is very cold, at least in part due to the cinderblocks of the walls. The wall mounted heating unit was not able to heat the space adequately, and it was very cold in the entire apartment, although the bed was supplied with a heated blanket. Upon request, Victor kindly supplied a space heater, which helped this problem significantly. Putting a few throw rugs on the floor and a tablecloth on the table and covering up the exposed planks in the kitchen would make the entire space homier and more inviting. The place is in a good location in Brooklyn with plenty of good restaurants nearby and a grocery store within a 5 minute walk and was close to where I needed to be daily. Q and G train stops are fairly nearby, a 10 minute walk in different directions. Not expensive and is clean, so acceptable for those trying to stay on a budget and still have a reasonable commute to Manhattan and other locations in Brooklyn.
