I was looking for a last minute long term stay on AirBnb and was lucky that this place popped up. It was newly listed at the time and I was pretty unsure about it at first but the place looked too good to pass up on so I went ahead and reached out to Rob and Andrea to book it. This place was definitely the BEST Airbnb I've had so far. The hosts were great, the place is AMAZING, and the location CANNOT be beat.
They were both very responsive and transparent with the place and were nice to talk to. Communication remained very open between me and them while I was there and any of my needs were very quickly addressed.
The apartment is SPRAWLING, with high ceilings and huge windows. Even the bathroom is bigger than many NYC bedrooms! The place is really clean too. When I got there everything was super well cleaned and neatly arranged. There were even cleaning materials I could use so that I could clean up after myself.
The whole space also looks AMAZING and impressed any of my friends when I had them over. The whole place was all very well designed. The lighting of the space is great in the day, and especially nice at night. All the furniture, the art, and everything is really cute. The kitchen is also pretty well stocked with cookware, plates, and all the cups you'd need.
I was out A LOT so the main come-on for me was the LOCATION. It was a 5 minute walk from Bedford station which is one stop away from Downtown Manhattan. Despite staying in Brooklyn, I spent lots of time going out in the lower east side so this worked great for me. It's also within at most 15 minutes walking distance to so many great Brooklyn restaurants like Sunday in Brooklyn, 12 Chairs, Juliette, etc. There's also lots of great shopping literally just down the street like APC, Rains, Le Labo etc.
I know this may seem like a lot of praise for an airbnb review but I was honestly so happy with the place and still cannot believe how lucky I was to find it. It's honestly so hard for me to find any fault in it, the hosts are great people and manage a great space, and honestly a good review is the least I could do. It'll definitely be at the top of my list of places to stay in when I visit NY again in the future.
