So far the best airbnb place I've stayed at. We took a taxi from the airport (Newark), which took about an hour. We only had to call John upon arrival and it was easy to check in. His place is perfect if you're a group of students (like us), family etc. It was clean and we had everything we needed for our week-long stay. It was easy to cook and despite filling up every bed, there was enough space for everyone. John was also very helpful and easy to contact. The only thing to mention is that we were unable to turn down the heating in the living-room, so it got a little too warm, and by opening the window we let the noise from the street in during the night.
The apartment is about a five-ten minute walk to the nearest subway station, so we got around Brooklyn and Manhattan without much trouble. Since we still had some hours to kill after check-out before leaving for the airport, we took the subway to Penn Station and left our bags at a short-term storage a few minutes away from the train station. John offered a late check-out, but that was 50 dollars an hour to the storage's 10 dollars per bag.
Overall the apartment was very comfortable, there was a lot of room for flexibility and we had a great stay. Highly recommended!
