This was our first time using AirBnB in NYC and we really feel as though we chose a great place. The apartment is on the first floor of a brownstone bldg in the Carroll Gardens part of Brooklyn, which we really liked. The subway stop is about 2 blks away and allows you to get to Manhattan in about 20 -25 min. The apt itself has been remodeled and is quite lovely. Our host, Stephanie, greeted us when we arrived and gave us tons of useful info — incl some great restaurant and sight-seeing recommendations. We had traveled to NYC mainly to get our “fix” of Broadway shows, and while the Theater District and Times Square are a lot of fun, it felt good to leave the chaos behind and return to our little Brooklyn sanctuary at night. Stephanie is a great host and her studio apt is two thumbs up :-)
