The Heiress Hubb

Merine was a wonderful host and her property was the perfect place for my friend and I to stay. The location in Bed-Stuy was well situated to explore the city. While the bathroom was shared, we rarely encountered the other tenant and we were pleasantly surprised that we had two separate rooms to ourselves; a bedroom and a sofa bed in the kitchen/living room.

Merine was absolutely great. I felt welcome and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. I’d stay again in a heartbeat.

Location

Calm area, amenities were considerate, nice bathroom

Squeaky floors but it’s a old building and I’m a big fella so no fault there

Clean; well stocked kitchen

The bedroom and (shared) bathroom was down the shared hall from the living room/kitchen. I had misread the listing.

Superfriendly host, well equipped and clean apartment with a great location: calm and pleasant street, really close to A and C subway lines, lots of quality fast food places/Cafés/pubs and grocery/general stores. The entire accommodation consists of three separate parts, all accessible from a shared staircase on the same (1st) floor: a comfy bedroom (the bed is a bit creeky), a well furnished living room and a kitchen equipped with everything you need (even for cooking), and the third part is the bathroom (bathtub/shower + WC) packed with toiletry products.

On the same floor, there is a 4th part with another tenant, with whom the bathroom is shared. We never actually met him/her, and we always found the bathroom clean, but it can be destructive for intimacy, when for example you have to reach your livingroom space or the shared bathroom from the bedroom, across the common staircase. Belongs to this, that there is a third floor, probably with other tennants, and the (superkind) host is living on the ground floor, and the walls are unforunately really thin, and the wooden floor with the stairs are really creeky, so walking, loud talking or even murmuring can be easily heard across the whole living space. But since its a Victorian style Brooklyn building probably built around 1900, and we didn't have any major problem, we took it as part of the whole experience.
