This space is "extremely" clean, probably better than many hotels. The checking process is straightforward. The host has prepared step-by-step checking in photos. I like it. The space is inside a modern refurbished apartment building: marble walkway in, and inside hardwood floor. The space is in a safe and quiet neighborhood. The subway entrance is about a 5-10 min walk from the one I used. The host is courteous and quick to reply to questions. I have visited New York City and Brooklyn many times in the past. This space is becoming my top choice.
