Allen and Ann's Brooklyn brownstone far surpassed our expectations. They are experienced hosts who went above and beyond expectations to make our stay absolutely perfect. First and foremost, the pictures don't do the rooms/home justice. This is a beautifully renovated, large home filled with art and surrounded by greenery. It's truly a gorgeous retreat in a very busy city. Second, there are thoughtful touches everywhere- from the dining table set for breakfast every morning to a booklet of carefully written reviews of the local restaurants- we felt so taken care of and relaxed from the moment we entered their home. Lastly, the neighborhood is wonderful. We loved getting lost in the tree-lined streets of townhomes and seeing locals wander about with their strollers and dogs. It's also very close to many of the major subway lines, which makes transportation into Manhattan, the airport or other parts of Brooklyn a breeze.
In short, we can't recommend this Airbnb enough. It'll be the first place we check when coming to NYC on future trips-- Thank you, Allen and Ann! Sending lots of love from Seattle.
