We chose Natasha’s apartment because of its good location to trains, well-equipped kitchen and because we liked the style of it from the pictures. Everything fulfilled our expectations. It is a very functional and cosy home and was perfect for our family of four with two girls, aged 9 and 18. We all loved it.
We did not meet Natasha in person since she was traveling with her family. However, we had very good communication with her through email as needed, before, during and after our stay.
We got the key from a family member and we also had a name to a contact nearby if we should need any help.
This was our first time in Brooklyn so our only concern was if the neighbourhood was as good as some previous airbnbs had described it.
Everyday we took the opportunity to walk new streets to the three or four different subway stations we used. We walked them early and late and only experienced a very friendly neighbourhood. There are grocery stores, wine stores and other smaller shops within five minute walk, so it fulfilled all our daily needs.
We did dine in two of the many restaurants that the neighbourhood has to offer. The Japanese on the corner and Tom’s restaurant, a little further down the avenue. Both were excellent. We do recommend future guests not to miss an American style breakfast at Tom’s. It has been there since 1936 and is a very authentic American/Brooklyn style breakfast restaurant. Which there unfortunately is not many left of in NYC.
We highly recommend Natasha’s apartment, Natasha as a host and the neighbourhood. We would be happy to stay there again!
