The house is exactly as the pictures, clean, new and comfortable as it looks. Ted was very nice and welcoming, he was waiting for us on the check in day, and help us with the bags (more like he carried them by himself), and also on the check out day. The house is located in Brooklyn (half an hour from Manhattan), the area at first may seems shady (manly if is your first time in NY), but me and my friend, two girls, didn't any problems. The house is a renovated basement, but it has a lot of light and is very quiet, since it gives you access to the backyard, you can hear the birds and everything, very pleasant. The only two this that may affect choosing this airbnb is the soft mattress and poor pressure in the shower, but definitely it didn't affected my stay!
