This place is fan-tas-tic! Mary and Josh are very kind and hospitable and you're bound to have a great stay. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Mary who briefly showed me around the apartment and gave me a helpful folder they had put together with recommendations for restaurants in the neighborhood, Manhattan subway maps, and anything you'd wanna know about the apartment and your stay. Moreover, the fridge was stocked with some basic groceries (like milk, yoghurt, and even some wine) so we didn't have to worry about breakfast the first morning. All this was a very pleasant surprise and shows they clearly understand what your needs will be upon arrival.

The apartment itself is very modern, clean, and spacious. There's a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room -- each with its own amenities you are welcome to use, from two WiFi networks, coffee makers and blenders, a TV, all the towels and toiletries you might need during your stay, and much more. Mary and Josh will even help you with laundry, if necessary.

You'll be in the middle of Brooklyn, only 5-10 minutes away (on foot) from two subway lines and it won't take you more than 30 minutes to get to Manhattan. The area itself is quiet and you'll have all the privacy you need. In fact, we only met with Mary and Josh once during the week we were there -- to say hi, get the keys, and be shown around the apartment. It was my first time booking through Airbnb and I was worried about lacking privacy, but I had nothing to worry about. What helps is that the apartment is nicely isolated on the top floor and very soundproof. Furthermore, Mary and Josh will ensure that you have everything you need to find your way around and you'll then be provided all the privacy you need. Should you at any point need to contact them, you can easily do so. But we never had to, since everything was so clearly explained in the folder they gave us.

In short, you'll love it. This'll be the first place I'll think of next time I wanna go to NYC for a couple of days. The apartment is great. The location is great. The owners are great. So, stop reading this review and book already! What are you waiting for?!
