This bedroom in Julia’s flat is the most wonderfully unique stay I have ever had on AirBnB. In large part thanks to Julia’s personal hospitality and the care she has clearly put into 100 different small touches, this room really embodies the original spirit of AirBnB: sharing space in someone’s home. As other reviewers have noted, that includes a few fundamentals, such as a shared bathroom and lack of a lock on the door. But this bedroom is massive—not just double but maybe even triple the size of the standard NYC hotel room. Besides, the setting in an industrial loft-style building in DUMBO and Julia’s hospitality makes the experience well worth it. Most highly recommended for an affordable base to move around NY, especially for travelers seeking equally easy access to both Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn.
