First of all I love AirBnB and the people who trustingly rent their homes at a fraction of hotel prices! It provides cost-conscious families like mine an opportunity to expand our world experiences. Thank you Chaim and family! Chaim’s loft is an outstanding place to stay in NYC…period! The place is exactly as portrayed in the photos and is set in a gritty, industrial warehouse district with great access to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn. While my first impression was how sketchy the neighborhood looked, I quickly began to see the eclectic mix of young urban artists that live and work in the area. We also discovered the urbane gems like the Grapeshot, a hip wine store, Brooklyn Roasting Company for a great coffee experience and other neighborhood charms. The mixed Asian/Jewish influence is so America…so NYC. I was impressed by the extensive bike culture (lots of fixies) and proximity to Steiner Studios that lent to the artsy feel of the neighborhood. We felt quite comfortable walking around the neighborhood and had easy access to free on-street parking. Chaim and family were great hosts leaving a carefully curated list of recommended Brooklyn restaurants. They communicated regularly and in a timely manner (more than me). I highly recommend this stay and hope you like your Brooklyn adventure as much as my family of five did!
