I booked this spot after my original booking was cancelled the day before I was due to check-in (Note - do not book this apartment: https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/1750527)
After looking through a few other Brooklyn locations, I found this wonderful apartment on Lewis Avenue, literally around the corner from my original booking on Greene Avenue.
The area may look a little rough around the edges at first glance but this is proper Brooklyn and there is a certain charm here that you won't experience anywhere else! The locals are friendly and helpful and there are so many stores, take-outs, deli's & laundrettes within a 3 minute walk in any direction.
The hosts, Thomas & Terry, are so kind and thoughtful. They are very quick to reply to messages and offer plenty of tips & event info in the area and they respect your privacy too.
The house itself is a charming old row house with the second floor converted into an Airbnb apartment consisting of a large double bedroom, a living room with a large flatscreen tv and apple tv unit, a kitchen, a bathroom and a small spare bedroom (though this room did not have an ac unit when we were staying). The wifi is excellent in the house too.
The apartment was spotlessly clean.
For any non-US guests, I recommend you install the Lyft app on your phone, I find it a little cheaper than Uber and it's an excellent taxi service.
The Myrtle subway station is about a 10 minute walk from the apartment.
I had a great time staying in this Brooklyn apartment and I'd recommend it to others.
Thanks so much Thomas & Terry.
