Charis should be designated as a Super Host! My husband and I spent 6 weeks in her lovely flat and from the very first night (with her waiting up until after 1am for our arrival) until the very last day or our stay, Charis was attentive and concerned for our comfort. We truly felt like cherished family members.

The flat is located less than a 5 minute walk from the L train in the trendy Bushwick, close to the Queens border. There is a 24 hour health food store two blocks from the flat and numerous restaurants, bodegas and cafes within walking distance. The neighborhood is active 24 hours and very safe. The rooftop was so much nicer than we thought it would be and on July 4th we grilled hot dogs in privacy. Charis and her neighbor have lights strung on the rooftop so it's very pleasant and relaxing in the evening. The neighborhood is a pure NYC ethnic mix so for those not accustomed to different nationalities and cultures, have no fear--it's a very safe neighborhood--24 hours per day.

The flat is definitely more beautiful than the photos. It's very well decorated and cozy and the central AC is a very rare and luxurious bonus in NYC. The only negative, which is not Charis's fault, is the live-in super, who never cleans the building so the stairs have an accumulation of what looks like years of dust-bunnies, but Charis's apartment is spotless so no fear of bugs.

I tend to be a perfectionist so when I give high praise, that praise is very well warranted. Charis receives the highest praise from me and I can't thank her enough for making my visit one of the best Airbnb experiences I have had to date.
