Polina‘s place was exactly what we were looking for. It is nestled in a wonderful area of Brooklyn, and we all felt safe/comfortable walking around the area. The subway is only a couple of blocks away, and by far the cheapest means of getting into the city or Times Square.
There were thoughtful touches all around the Airbnb. From the tea kettle to the coffee maker, to the helpful reads that kept us entertained before bed, the space felt warm and intentionally crafted.
I think this space is wonderful and we would absolutely stay again!
My only suggestion to my fellow non-city natives would be to bring a noise canceling device, just because the city gets especially loud in the evening, and you tend to hear the upstairs neighbors walking around.
