Although I use AirBnb a lot, this was my first time staying in a shared space. However, I never felt any discomfort or lack of privacy, thanks to the wonderful hosts Andrew and Adriana.
The communication was very easy and fast, and despite my bus being late Andrew waited for me, and gave me a house tour.
Every square inch of the house is sparkling clean, including shared kitchen and bathroom. All spaces are tastefully decorated. My room was spacious and cozy, with both Dyson fan and an AC, a bottle of complimentary sparkling water and a basket with toiletries in case the guest has forgotten something.
I especially loved the travel brochure composed and designed by Andrew and Adriana themselves, based on their real experiences. It includes information on house rules, transportation, shopping, restaurants and cafes, things to do in Brooklyn and NYC bucket list, free activities, etc.
The location is just great - with subway station just across the street and bus stop in front of the door, in a safe neighborhood, very close to Brooklyn's many attractions including wonderful Prospect Park and zoo, and adjacent Brooklyn Botanical Garden.
I would definitely stay with Andrew and Adriana again, and would recommend their place to anyone.
