Our 2nd stay in this fabulous "Brownstone" accommodation, this is a really "special" Airbnb the best we have ever stayed in and sets the standard for the others. Rob and John are wonderful hosts, they make a point of being there to greet you when you arrive. Coffee pods, butter and other essentials are provided, we stay in many Airbnbs and so many fail to provide these thoughtful extras. The area is very safe we travelled by Subway into New York which is easily accessible about 1000 yards from the house. The neighbours are friendly always saying "hello" and stopping to talk. The house is about 40 minutes into the City. The area has many restaurants, and takeaways Italian, Chinese, Middle Eastern and Asian as well as Delicatessens and Grocery shops, as well as major discount stores Century 21 etc. We had a wonderful holiday so great to be staying in this lovely Apartment with such easy access to New York yet being able to return at the end of the day from the noise and "buzz" of New York to Bay Ridge and this wonderful Apartment.
