We had a great time at Maisha‘s and Raf’s spot in Brownsville. The apartment is pretty, spacious, super clean and just like in the pictures. The next metro is only a short walk away. From there it is only a few stops to other Brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg or Bed-Stuy and even Manhatten is just a 30-40min ride. However, we can’t speak to the metro experience in the evenings or at night because we only used Uber because we stayed out late.
Since our goal was to spend a bit more time in Brooklyn, Maisha‘s apartment was a great place to stay. Maisha was a great host, who had awesome recommendations, provided snacks which we greatly appreciated after our long flight and was more than willing to help us and did some additional research for us (e.g. where to go for church on Sunday).
