Reviewer: Roy
Comments: The host was awesome. Very attentive and great communication! She provided toiletry and amenities. Washed and renewed sheets after each guest. Close to the M and J train to get into Manhattan. I appreciate how the place was heated especially during the cold season. Highly recommend this place!!!

Reviewer: Nick
Comments: Great place for budget travelers. The shower was really nice! Only problem was having a little bit of cigarette smoke come from the air vent from time to time (when the heat came on).
-
Reviewer: Akini
Comments: Alena's home was extremely relaxing. My best experience yet. The place was very clean. She was very welcoming and the fact that I had my own bathroom really made the stay that much more relaxing. Thank you so much.

Reviewer: Jose Aaron
Comments: Apartamento muy acogedor, relativamente cerca del metro que conecta con manhattan, Alena is excellent host! she always attended, i hope i could come back to nyc soon and definitely i'll looking to stay with alena!

Reviewer: Ajahmure
Comments: I contacted Alena last minute, and when I say last minute I mean 2 hours before I needed to check in. I was in town for work and my job needed me to stay another night. She graciously accepted my request and check in was a breeze. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the train station and a short ride to the city. Place was very clean and comfortable. I had a great nights sleep!

Reviewer: Vera
Comments: Thank you Alena for hosting me! I enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing mode of the house and the privacy of my little room. The neighboorhood is also quiet, needed public transport or uber to coffee shops or other places (Brooklyn museum). The sheets and the bathroom were very clean- all I needed for my first days in NY. Thank you for letting me leave my baggage in the living room for some extra hours till I could pick them up to my friend's house. I appreciate that a lot!

Reviewer: Paola
Comments: Good space to tour the city. The house is in a quiet but safe neighbour and you have a bus close to the riverside of Brooklyn (east Manhattan) where to you can transfer to the train (metro) to get there. There is a subway station too and a bus to JFK just one block. Yet I used Uber hehe

Reviewer: Eugene
Comments: Perfect place, just what I was looking for. Will stay again
-
Reviewer: Mie Lisa
Comments: Rigtig fint og hyggeligt sted. Særlig velegnet til unge og hvis man er mere end én. Det ligger lidt lang ude i Brooklyn, så den 10 minutters gåtur hjem fra metroen føltes ikke så tryg hvis man går alene om aftenen, så brugte uber - hvilket til gengæld var ret billigt :) om dagen var det intet problem. Lejligheden er stor, ren og pæn, og det er hyggeligt med de andre besøgende, man møder indimellem nær man er hjemme. Alt man skal bruge er nemt at komme til og værten er hurtig og nem at få fat på hvis man har spørgsmål. :)

Reviewer: Sarah
Comments: A great house in an area that is up-and coming with a true Brooklyn feel. Room is basic, ideal for small budget and short stay, if you just need a bed. Alena is a lovely, thoughtful host :)
-
Reviewer: Loic
Comments: Séjour parfait pour 2 nuits à New-York. Idéalement situé entre JFK et Manhattan. Alena est hyper réactive en terme de communication et laisse une place importante à l’intimité de ses hôtes. A noter : l'appartement est super propre. J'apprécie ! Merci Aléna !

Reviewer: William
Comments: Alena's place was great! It's exactly as described and she was super helpful throughout the stay. Check in was super easy and would definitely stay here again if I am in the area.
-
Reviewer: Gustavo
Comments: Es tal como se muestra en las fotos, tienen que tener en cuenta que la ubicación no es la mejor o por lo menos si son solos ya que la estación de subte que te lleva a Manhattan queda a unas 8 largas cuadras y en mi caso no me parecía muy segura. El servicio de wifi en la sala funciona de 10 pero en la habitación no. En cuanto a los anfitriones solo conoci a Anthony que fue muy cordial y Alena la traté solo por msj que también fue muy amable. Si vas en grupo es distinto, pero solo se complica la sensación de seguridad en mi casa.

Reviewer: Soren
Comments: Alena is great. Her place was easy to find. She explained everything and answered all the questions I had in a speedy manner. The price was amazing. I would highly recommend.

Comments: Pretty cool apt and nice neighborhood.
-
Reviewer: Megan
Comments: I was here for about a month, which I am very gracious for. The place wasn’t as clean as one would expect. There is a no shoe rule inside; however, I was constantly stepping on things with my bare feet. With a month stay, I only had one towel and the sheets weren’t changed. Other than that it was a great stay. It is an easy walk to the subway, and easy ride into manhattan.

Reviewer: Sam
Comments: Alena's space was clean and worked out well for my stay.
-
Reviewer: Cameron-Mitchell
Comments: Absolute peace. Alena's space does exactly what you want it to. I hardly saw/heard anyone, never had to wait for any amenities/utilities and was welcome to use all that was present. She's in the HEART of Bed-Stuy and the city is always 15 minutes away. I had a wonderfully chill stay.

Reviewer: Alex
Comments: Awesome place not far from Manhattan, and a bus stop nearby
-
Reviewer: Mikhail
Comments: Great place and great communication. All you need for a comfortable budget stay in Brooklyn.
-
Reviewer: Naureen
Comments: My room was just as the image. I felt really at peace after a long day in NYC, and I wish I could have stayed there for my entire trip. It might not be ideal for people taking subway back late or wanting to eat healthy nearby, but for people like me who want to come back to a chill spot with a clean bathroom and home after NYC tourist times, it’s wonderful! Alena is a gem of a host!
-
Reviewer: Dallas
Comments: The place is a nice and easy way to stay in Brooklyn. Tamá is a great Filipino restaurant just around the corner from there too!
-
Reviewer: Liz
Comments: Very Clean and spacious. My room was a bit small, but all I could expect for a single bed room. Alena was very responsive with all my questions and I appreciated a safe, thoughtful, and clean space.
-
Reviewer: Vanessa
Comments: Good place for the price. Clean and homey. Good street parking.
-
Reviewer: Nazma
Comments: Alena’s place was amazing. I had such a great time being there. Very cozy and comfortable. I will definitely stay there again next time I’m in Brooklyn.
-
Reviewer: Kenny
Comments: The place was nice and easy. The room was small but comfortable. The only problem was that there is no ac and you’re on the top floor. The weather wasn’t too bad so the window open at night with a fan made it comfortable? But there’s a fair amount of street noise at times. This place will be perfect as the weather continues to get cooler and you don’t need an open window!
-
Reviewer: Josh
Comments: Solid room for an amazing price. If you need a room just to sleep in then this is a really great option
-
Reviewer: Daniel
Comments: Great location and good value for price. Host was very clear communicating during check in.
-
Reviewer: Adam
Comments: Alena’s place was cozy just like described. Perfect spot if you’re just staying in Brooklyn for a few days. We only interacted once but she was accommodating, responsive & gave me a few suggestions for cool things to do in the area. Great host, thanks Alena.

Reviewer: Paul
Comments: Nice room in Brooklyn, located in a big apartment where many guests come and go. Not the cleanest option in town, not the best neighborhood to hang out (not much to do and not a lot of food options besides fast foods and pizzas), but still a good option considering the price. Fancier areas such as Bushwick are close-by and the transportation to Manhattan is super fast and easy (15-20min via the express train).

Reviewer: Adiel
Comments: Alena’s is comfortable and in a pretty convenient location. She’s easy to communicate with and is down to help troubleshoot problems as they arise!
-
Reviewer: Hosea
Comments: Nice place with updates in an old Brooklyn apartment. Bed was fine for 1 person but anymore would be pushing it. Updated bathroom was a nice touch and access to kitchen was nice. Living room was welcoming and warm

Reviewer: Lisa
Comments: This place is in the heart of a beautiful neighborhood. The bedroom itself was no-frills, but the apartment is really cool! I could imagine crashing there for work etc. The bathroom is modern and very comfortable, I appreciated that.
