Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

This house is a good option for those who value peace and quiet.

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.

Cons

the rent felt a bit high for the room size.

Decent and flexible housing option in Brooklyn

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.
