I brought my mother to NYC for her birthday, and this was the PERFECT place to stay for us. She took the very spacious bedroom and I took the loft, which was comfortable and private, and we both were endlessly inspired by the apartment (books! plants! beautiful, unique things!). Great location, too -- amazing shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance, and a quick walk to the Greenpoint subway station. The host, Maya, was very responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating. Overall, our best airbnb & vacation experience yet. We definitely hope to be back again next year!
