This house is a good option for those who value peace and quiet.
Former Tenant
Pros:
I stayed at 340 Clifton Place, and it was the perfect balance between community and privacy. The house was always clean and well-maintained, and the neighborhood felt calm and welcoming. Having a monthly cleaner made everything hassle-free. Definitely a place worth considering if you value comfort and peace of mind.

Decent and flexible housing option in Brooklyn
Former Tenant
Pros:
I stayed here for a few months. The room itself was simple but functional — furnished with a bed, desk, and basic storage, nothing fancy but enough to get by. The building is in a good spot in Brooklyn, close to the G train, so getting around was pretty easy.

Common spaces like the kitchen and living area were shared with several people, which worked fine most of the time, but cleanliness really depended on the housemates. The WiFi was reliable, and utilities were handled through the Outpost fee, so I didn’t have to worry about separate bills.
Overall, it’s a decent short-to-midterm housing option if you want something flexible in Brooklyn, but don’t expect luxury — it’s more about convenience and community than high-end finishes.
Cons:
Rooms and furniture are very basic, nothing fancy.
Advice to owner:
Improve consistency of cleaning in shared spaces
