The property holds a Google rating of 4.2 based on 1,119 reviews. Internal rating dimensions – collected from a separate survey – show particularly high scores for staff (4.7), social atmosphere (4.7), cleaning (4.7), internet (4.7), and location (4.7), with a slightly lower score for amenities (3.5) and value for money (4.7). Note that these internal ratings are indicative and may come from a smaller sample.
Who this residence suits
700 Flushing Ave works well for students or young professionals who prioritise cleanliness and a friendly, low‑key social atmosphere. Based on guest feedback, the hostel‑style common areas (the property appears to operate partly as a hostel) make it easy to meet people without feeling overwhelmed by noise or parties. The location in Brooklyn offers convenient access to neighbourhood restaurants, thrift shops, and graffiti‑lined streets that give the area a creative vibe.
The property is also a good choice for those who need a short‑term stay of three months or more, and who want all bills included in a single monthly payment. The presence of larger beds (not just narrow twin beds) is an advantage for anyone who values sleeping comfort.
Who this residence does not suit
If you require a private studio or a fully independent apartment with your own kitchen and bathroom, this is not the right fit. The unit type (6‑bedroom apartment) implies shared living areas. Multiple reviews mention staying in dorm‑style rooms, so privacy is limited. The amenities score of 3.5 suggests that the facilities – though functional – may not be top‑tier. Also, the Wi‑Fi can be “a little spotty” according to one reviewer, which could be frustrating if you rely on a stable connection for remote classes or work.
Because the monthly rent starts at USD 1,450, it is above the city’s starting price of USD 850 per month. Budget‑conscious renters will find cheaper options elsewhere in New York City, though many of those may not include bills or have the same social environment.
What residents actually say
Three Google reviews were collected for this property. Here is what guests wrote:
Paul Kissel (5 stars):
“I stayed at Moore Hostel for three days and had a fantastic experience. Honestly, it was probably the cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff kept everything spotless, and the front desk was always staffed. No matter what I needed or what questions I had, someone was there to help. The location was excellent.”
Siti Aida (4 stars):
“I stayed here towards the end of October while visiting a friend in Brooklyn—and of course for the thrift shop experience. I loved the graffiti walls; they really gave the place cool, creative vibes. I’d recommend the four‑bed dorms. It was easy to make friends, but overall the hostel has a nice, low‑key atmosphere.”
Heather Knutson (5 stars):
“Spacious & clean rooms, tons of good common areas, convenient location, lots of good food options nearby. Loved having a larger bed rather than a twin. Only complaint was WiFi was a little spotty but sorted itself out quickly!”
Common themes: exceptional cleanliness, helpful staff, good location, spacious rooms, and a social but relaxed environment. The Wi‑Fi issue was minor and resolved during her stay.
Price positioning vs. the city’s from-price
New York City’s cheapest listed student accommodation starts at USD 850 per month (indicative – confirm with the operator). With a range of USD 1,450–1,700 per month for 700 Flushing Ave, this property sits well above that entry level. However, it includes all utility bills (electricity, water, internet, etc.), which in New York can add USD 100–200+ per month to a tenant’s costs. When you factor in bills and the convenience of a short‑term lease (3 months minimum), the effective monthly cost is more competitive than the base rent suggests.
Among the 212 properties listed in New York City on this platform, 700 Flushing Ave is in the mid‑to‑upper price tier for shared accommodation. It is not the cheapest, but it offers a combination of cleanliness, social atmosphere, and bill inclusion that many budget options lack.
Room‑type guidance
The property’s unit type is listed as “6b apartment”, which likely refers to a six‑bedroom apartment with shared kitchen, living, and bathroom facilities. In practice, based on reviews, you can choose from different dorm‑style configurations – one reviewer specifically recommends the four‑bed dorm. It is plausible that the building offers a mix of 4‑bed, 6‑bed, and possibly private rooms, but the data does not specify exact options.
If you want to maximise privacy, ask the operator about the 6‑bedroom apartment configuration: it may have single‑occupancy bedrooms within the apartment, or it may be an open dorm. Always verify the exact layout before committing.
Booking timing considerations
No specific availability date is provided in the data. Since the minimum lease is 3 months and the property appears to operate year‑round (based on reviews from October and other months), you can inquire at any time. For an autumn 2026 start, it is wise to begin searching in early‑mid 2026. New York’s rental market moves quickly, especially for well‑reviewed properties. The internal ratings for staff (4.7) and location (4.7) are strong, so availability may be limited during peak move‑in periods.
If you plan to stay for a full academic year, note that the 3‑month minimum allows flexibility – you can extend as needed, but confirm extension policies with the operator.
FAQ
Is this a hostel or a long‑stay apartment?
Based on the data, the property is listed as an apartment complex (unit type: 6b apartment), but reviews from Google consistently refer to it as “Moore Hostel” and describe dormitory‑style rooms. This suggests the building may operate as both a hostel (short‑term stays) and longer‑term student accommodation. The minimum lease of 3 months supports longer stays. Confirm the exact operating model with the operator before booking.
Are utilities really included?
Yes. The property tags include “bills_included”, and the monthly rent of USD 1,450–1,700 covers electricity, water, heating, and internet. No hidden fees for utilities have been reported. The deposit is a separate upfront payment of USD 1,450, which is equal to one month’s rent at the lower end of the price range.
How far is it from universities?
The data does not list any specific universities, but the property is located in Brooklyn, New York. Many of the city’s major universities (e.g., NYU, Columbia, Pratt) are within 30–60 minutes by subway. The address is Brooklyn, NY 11206, which is in the Williamsburg/Bushwick area – well‑connected to Manhattan and other boroughs. Use a map service to check commute times for your campus.
