For my first AirBNB trip, I was not disappointed. Whilst the weather outside was freezing, the house was lovely and warm, as well as being clean and exactly how it was defined in the description. The local area was quirky and not too far in an uber from a lot of brooklyns best bars and restaurants. There was a coffee shop which was located approximately 8-10 mins walk from the house which we visited a couple of times and also a really nice fried chicken joint which was a one minute walk away which we utilised on a hangover day. In a cab, it took us about 30 mins to get to manhattan. If you're in a rush, the subway is a better place option and again, it wasn't too far from the apartment.
Sandrine is a magnificent host who is always on hand to assist. I would highly recommend staying here
