Merine was a lovely host. Responsive and easy to work with. The living area was clean and sweetly set up, with a well stocked kitchen. The location was perfect for me near my daughter's place and easy to get around by subway. The other tenant was quiet and sharing a bathroom was not a problem for me. I would stay again.

Slightly weird smell in the building (not in our rooms which smelled perfectly fine). The bed is next to the wall and it's not very comfortable to get in and out if you are the one sleeping on that side.

The host is really nice and helped us to know how to get around the city. She left several complimentary biscuits, coffee, shampoo, etc. The kitchen-living room was nice and helped us safe on breakfasts and some dinners. It's well connected to Manhattan with the Express A Train.

Sometimes there was this smell of catpee in the hallway.

It's a great location in Brooklyn in a nice street. We loved the space with a nice living room, kitchen en bedroom! Merine is a very nice lady.

The pictures make it look like a private apartment. But the bedroom and bathroom were separate. And there was an additional bedroom occupied by someone else. The bathroom was shared. There were also lots of steps getting inside and then upstairs. We had heavy luggage that was difficult to manage. There was also ni mention of the cat. My husband was very allergic and we wouldn’t have booked there had we known.

The host was nice and very responsive.

The bedroom window could not be opened.

It felt like a home away from home. With the warm welcome from Merine who reached out after the first night to check if all had gone well, the snacks on the table and the use of everything in the kitchen.

Sharing the bathroom, but that was ok, just not used to it. We were very close to the person in the next room and felt we could be heard as there was an adjoining door in the bedroom which had been sealed to reduce noise.

The host was so lovely and couldn't do enough to help us with any queries. We loved the little kitten!

The people upstairs were loud with heavy walking,slamming doors,throw things down,talking loud.

Merine was great and wonderful and kept a very clean place and beautiful furnishing. Gentleman on floor with me was very quiet and clean with the shared bathroom.

The bedroom was separate and, while the ed was comfortable, it was very small. The bathroom was shared and was very small without any place to place or hang clothes, towel, etc.

The owner was very friendly and ready to help. The siting room had a kitchen, dining table and a couch with TV. It was very clean and new.

You must know the bathroom is shared. We didn’t love that part because my friend had to wait for almost an hour to use it one morning. It was super clean all the time tho, the place has a different setting as a regular apartment, I mean, the bathroom, living room and room are in the same floor but separate, you need a key to enter to each room.

The personnel was amazing!! Marinne is the best part, she’s super super kind and responsive, she attended all of our request, questions and was super helpful and kind, welcoming and nice. She helped us with many things and even with a personal situation, so the attention I can say it’s great, the best you can find in the city. The place has a good location, it’s like 10 minutes walking from two or three different subway stations, the bathroom was super clean and has all the amenities, also many towels, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc. The bed was comfortable too. Nice mirrors and dressers. The table was decorated super cute with Christmas decorations, the living room was nice and the kitchen clean and with many things. You have a fridge, stove, microwave, and all kitchen utensils which is amazing if you want to cook there. Its a very good spot if you want to work there or doing breakfast before going to sightseeing the city.

Very home-like with a nice host

I stayed with my daughter, and we both liked that we had two completely independent rooms. This meant we could have slightly different sleeping schedules since one of us could go into the living room/kitchen in the morning without waking the other up. We slept comfortably. Also, even though it's a shared bathroom, we never ran into anyone else there. Merine was warm and welcoming and accommodated our very late check-in. Also, the express subway to Manhattan was a quick walk, and it was a great neighborhood to stay in.

Title: Deceptive Listing, Unsafe Conditions, and No Accountability from Booking.com I booked this property through Booking.com, expecting a safe and comfortable stay based on the listing’s description and photos. However, what we encountered was a nightmare. Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that the “apartment” was nothing like what was advertised. The “apartment” was actually just a collection of rooms in the owner’s home, more like a hostel or rooming house, with people staying between us and above us. To make matters worse, there was a random man moving between our rooms while blasting the television. This felt completely unsafe and unsettling. Additionally, the bathroom was shared, which was never mentioned, and the kitchen was in a separate area, locked behind a raggedy door with gaps and additional locks. The entire setup was chaotic and unsafe, adding to our discomfort. We immediately started searching for alternative accommodations and canceled our reservation within 20 minutes of arriving because we had to find somewhere else to stay. What made matters even worse was that Booking.com allowed this deceitful owner to decide whether we were being honest about our experience. The owner, who fraudulently advertised the property, got to determine if our concerns were valid. How is this fair? How is this safe? We sent video evidence to Booking.com to support our claims, but we received no assistance or resolution. Booking.com claims to protect travelers, but they allowed this unsafe, misleading property to remain on their platform, offering no protection for guests when things go wrong. To top it off, the owner charged a “towel fee” for what looked like used towels—and there were only one or two of them. How can you justify charging a fee for this? It’s completely ridiculous and highlights the deceptive nature of this place and its management.

Nothing

Nothing to not like.

It offers a lot of space for the price in Brooklyn! It is obvious that Marine has given a lot of thought to the needs of guests. It is a true home share but had privacy and that feels ethically comfortable and also comfortable. It is in a great location for getting around and the residential neighborhood was quiet even on Halloween weekend! Great value.

We were looking to come to an apartment. with the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, living room together, this was not an apartment this was a roomer house facility and a cat that continued to try to get into the room.

The host was very nice and friendly.

Nothing really maybe shared bathroom is not ideal but it didn’t seem like anyone else was there when I was. I never had to wait or even noticed anyone using it.

Location, cleanliness, ease of check in and check out, amenities, comfort, Wi-Fi. Everything was great.
