This unit was exactly as described. It is in the heart of Park Slope, a great area in Brooklyn, with lots of interesting restaurants and shops within a very short walk. Our daughter lives in the neighborhood, so it was very convenient for us to visit her and also to spend time in Manhattan. The closest subway station is less than a 5 minute walk. The F local into Manhattan runs frequently. Because of all the stops it is about 20 min to Greenwich Village and about half an hour to Times Square, but one can make it a little faster if one transfers to an express train.
This unit fits the original Airbnb model of a resident making their unit available while they will be away for an extended time period. Thus if you want a unit devoid of personality it might not suit you. We enjoyed the holiday décor he left behind.
It was great that he let us check in a few hours early, so we did not need to find a place to store our luggage and so that he could show us around before he departed.
