We stayed at Andrew and Markus' place from sept 21-25. They were very accommodating and replied to all of our messages.
We had arrived earlier than expected but we were able to drop off our luggage and explore the city in the early afternoon. We met Andrew when we checked in and he was very friendly and gave us some tips on places to eat around Brooklyn.
The apartment is a good size for 2 people. The place is very clean, we both loved the bathroom! We also loved that it was on the second floor for privacy and Andrew and Markus always had the outside light on at night. So it was easy for us to get into the apartment and easy to find at night after a long day of exploring the city.
The neighbourhood is nice and quiet and the G subway train is just a couple blocks away, we took the subway throughout the city with no issues. We bought a 7 day metro pass - $31 (so worth every penny) on our 5 day trip.
By the end of the 4th day, we wanted to figure out transportation to the airport (La Guardia LGA) Even though we asked for a taxi service number from Andrew and Markus. We decided to take the subway and transfer to a shuttle bus to the airport! We took the G train to Court Square and transferred to the 7 train and got off on Broadway to catch a shuttle bus (Q70 to LGA)
We had an amazing time staying at Andrew and Markus' place and would definitely recommend anyone to stay if you want to explore New York!
