Damon and Kent are the sweetest and nicest hosts we ever met on airbnb ! They are caring and able to answer every single question you could have.
They welcomed us so warmly we felt immediately at home ! They offered us their help whenever we needed it, and they were easy to communicate with.
As for the apartment situated on the second floor of their house, it is truly the most convenient and cosy place we had of all of our trip. The situation is perfect, very easy to catch the subway within 2 minutes of walk. If you arrive from JFK you have a direct subway line to Utica Ave which is a real bonus. The neighborhood is quite beautiful, quiet, and we never felt unsafe, even when coming home late in the night (we are two women aged 25). If you love walking as we do, you can reach by feet many areas of Brooklyn worthy of seeing on a beautiful day. Listen to their advices regarding the restaurants and food is the best thing to do if you wanna eat in the neighborhood. Actually we found Brooklyn much more interesting than Manhattan, so I would recommend to stay in Brooklyn to anyone eager to have a typical New-Yorker experience. Brooklyn is full of nice and lively areas, good places to see and chill in with friends and incredible places to eat. BTW the pizzeria few streets away is soooo good you have to go there !! The apartment itself is well decorated, there is a very cosy lounge and the light coming from the big windows is so soothing ! We loved it so much it was difficult to leave it. You can cook in the kitchen and you will find everything you would need.
Truly the best place I've been through airbnb. You cannot go wrong with the Boldera. For sure this is the place I'll stay in whenever I'm back in NYC and I recommend it highly !
Thanks again Damon and Kent !
