If you are looking for the perfect place to visit New York then this is the spot! Not only are you close to the subway which can take you into Manhattan but you are also in a very nice part of Brooklyn. Please do not only focus on Manhattan but check out all the different neighborhoods in Brooklyn which have a really nice vibe!
The trip from and to JFK will take you about 60 minutes. Close by are really nice restaurants. Especially Nourish (great Thai food) and Sushi Lin. Around the corner there is also a nice brewery.
Laurence is a very nice host. I had a lot of interesting conversations with him and he had a lot of good tips. Communication upon arrival was very good. I was welcomed with a gin tonic after a long day of traveling which was perfect. The room is private and has its own bathroom. Also the terrace on the roof is really nice with a nice view over Brooklyn.
I have been to almost 40 different AirBnb spots in the last 6 years and almost never write a review. This has to be one of the best experiences yet!
