Great Kitchen! Gas stove is amazing and this is a good place to stay if you enjoy cooking at home/AirBnb to save food costs when travelling/vacation. But bring your own cookware incase.
I like that there is cutlery, cookware and cooking utensils provided at the AirBnb apartment in the kitchen. But when I arrived, the frying pans, pots were all scratched, and these were teflon/non-stick pots and pans which is not safe to use for cooking once the teflon/non-stick pans are scratched as the coating can be toxic when not intact. I had to purchase my own frying pan here to use for cooking. But everything else is good, you are provided with salt and pepper, regular vegetable oil and there is tea and coffee in the kitchen cabinet available as well.
Location is in the East side of Brooklyn in the Canarsie neighbourhood. The place is a 15 - 20 minute walk from the L-Train Subway Station which is convenient. The place is not the most safe at night time when you walk home. I had to have one of my friends who was a local in New York walk me back home at night a few times. I am a solo female traveler and I was approached by a group of men near the subway station while walking back at night time and did not feel safe and had the fear of being followed, so I had a friend escort me back to the area.
This listing on the AirBnB is accurate as you can see that it is newly renovated and it does look like how it does in the pictures when you go there. But what the listing does not show you is that is the outside of the building. There are bars on the window from the outside where the curtains cover next to the entrance. There is a security camera from above and the area is well lit at the front door entrance on the outside for security reasons since the location appears to be in a lower-income neighbourhood.
The place is clean and tidy and very spacious. I felt like I was at home while I was there.
There is a TV flatscreen on the wall to watch TV, there is Netflix available and Wi-Fi. The apartment is a good value for those who like to cook and don't mind commuting to the middle of New York in the Manhattan area which is about 60 minutes away via walking and taking the Subway.
