Johnny's place is perfect for all kinds of folks; hipsters, savy travelers or newbies to the airbnb scene can all find this gem to be exactly what they need. The neighborhood has bars and cafes, as well as corner stores and private school a few buildings down, which tends to mean a safe, family / faith based community and does here. The subway is close by and can have you in times sq or soho in a very reasonable amount of time and with 1 or 2 transfers at most.
The apt itself is perfect for those that need a place to be in the mornings, at siesta and to sleep. Its hip but has some age to the building. It reminded me alot of a flat in a place like amsterdam. Charming and homie but lived in. Ac works like a charm, which is great for the hot nyc days.
Johnny is a solid host, we spent some time at a lunch spot near by and had a great chat.
Will look for this airbnb again on my return to brooklyn
