I agree to everything that was said in the other positive reviews, but wanted to add some other things that most didn't touch on. It was my first experience also using Air BnB and it was great. I felt like I was staying at my own apt. oppose to a hotel and it was soooo much more relaxing. Even though it was a comparable price to the median scale hotels I checked out, it was much closer to Manhattan via the subway and had more amenities. Jae (host) was very professional and attentive when needed. He responded to emails or text message very quickly, but never intruded on our visit. He was there when we arrived and gave us a short tour of the apt and even offered to carry our suitcase up to the 3rd floor apt. Check out was also a breeze, when Jae just asked us to lock up and leave the keys in the apt. The apt is very modern, bright and clean with almost all its furnishings from Ikea. There is a window a/c unit in the bedroom, but it's more than adequate to cool the whole apt. when we went in June. Someone mentioned street noise in there review, but with the windows closed it wasn't too bad. The noise was what I expected from a city neighborhood. We also never heard a peep from the neighbors. There were two of us staying at the apt. and we were each furnished a set of keys to the place. There are two sky lights that make the apt. bright. One in the living room and the second in the bathroom that can easily be opened for airflow. One of us slept in the bed and I on the fold out couch and it was comfortable. Even though I have herniated disc in my back, I still slept like a baby. As far as the neighborhood being safe, I'm in law enforcement and can say the neighborhood felt safe at all hours of the day. I checked out a street view on Google Maps after booking the apt. and it looked a little scary for those who live in the suburbs, but once there it was just a typical bustling urban neighborhood you'll find in Brooklyn. All the merchants in the area were friendly. I have a relative who lives in Brooklyn and they said the Williamsburg area where this apts located is a very sought out area to live. The main entrance door into the building has a deadbolt and door lock, along with the apt. There is a laundry mat a couple businesses down (if needed) and I discovered a good pizza place also a few doors down that also offers gluten free pizza that I recommend. There's also a small 24 hr. corner market and the L subway train that goes to Manhattan is about 2 blocks away. We took a cab from La Guardia Airport that cost approximately $30 and is about...
