This place is in a good location, it’s super close to Bushwick and lots of bars and cafes and thrift stores. It’s really easy to get into Manhattan or other parts of BK.
Contactless check in/out was pretty easy, though I did have trouble at the beginning as some other guests had taken all the keys from the lockbox so I had trouble getting into the building.
The room itself is comfortable, the bed is nice, it’s not too hot or cold. It is noisy from the street, as stated in the ad. but if you can deal with that it is good value.
There were a lot of small brown cockroaches that were all throughout the room and got all through my suitcase. That’s kinda common in NY but it was not the best.
The kitchen set up is very very basic. No mugs for tea, just paper and plastic cups. The living room is pretty sparse and not very comfy to hang out in. When I was there a friend of the hosts was hanging out in the living room and smoking a lot inside which I wasn’t a big fan of.
The place is set up boarding house style, so there are doors that link different guests rooms. The locks on these are very basic, the type that could be turned with a coin. The back door to the yard was often left open so it didn’t feel particularly secure. But I mentioned it to Steve and he said he could improve that?
Basically overall it is a good place if you are on a budget. Thanks for a good stay, Steve.
