This is a beautiful BIG apartment in outer Brooklyn. Comfortable beds, close to subway, supermarket and pharmacy, 30-45 mins into Manhattan. I stayed with my family for 2 weeks in June and it was a good base to explore manhattan and Brooklyn.
I believe this is a reasonably new listing and unfortunately quite a lot to improve on. We first noticed it was dusty all over the apartment (literal tumbleweeds of dust), there was old rubbish under the sink and old food in the fridge.
The listing advertised a microwave as well as a washer on site which was not the case. The WiFi password provided was incorrect, the address given was slightly inaccurate (though google maps link correct) and we could not manage to work the air conditioner in the middle of summer. The lockbox was across the road from the apartment in the middle of a busy street which for women traveling having to access this did not feel like great security (and we had a shopkeeper angrily ask us to move it).
Vincent was away I believe and a company ‘The Makomi Team’ were running the show. Communication was initially very good in the first few days but when we asked about a few things eg where to find the laundry, how to work the aircon, and about the lockbox there was no reply to any messages at all. In our experience air bnb hosts like to be made aware of issues as soon as they arise to try and help out but this absence of communication was striking.
While small things individually this added up to a number of inconveniences which left a sour taste.
It really is a beautiful apartment and has a lot of potential but unfortunately unpolished and we would not rush back to stay again
