My fiancé and I had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Pete’s apartment for 14 weeks on an extended work trip. We were looking for a place in North Brooklyn comfortable for our mixed work-from-home needs, and Pete’s place was the perfect oasis of calm and luxury in a fun, vibrant location.
The apartment is inside a BEAUTIFUL semi-new building with a fancy elevator, shared roofdeck, and electronic entryway. The unit has impressive floor to ceiling windows throughout, providing great views of the trees and street below. There is ample dining, storage and workspaces throughout the unit, perfect for work from home. One highlight was the high quality in-unit appliances - huge laundry machines, professional oven/range, and an incredible dishwasher with two separate compartments!! Another highlight was the integrated master bed and bath with huge closets, plus the spare bedroom and spare bathroom for guests!
The location is perfect - nestled against a quiet section of McCarren Park, and wedged between two fantastic neighborhoods in Greenpoint and Williamsburg. In ~5 minutes, you can be in either neighborhood’s main thoroughfares for dining and shopping. If you want to get to Manhattan, you are under-20 min from Union Square, including a ~9 min walk to the Lorimer L/G station.
Finally, Pete is the most attentive, supportive Airbnb host we’ve ever encountered. In addition to his warm, friendly personality, he makes his guests a priority, and responds rapidly to any question or the routine issues expected during a long-stay like ours. This was a big asset during periods of work-from-home.
