This was my first time using Air Bnb and it was a great experience (which was a relief because I was booking last minute). I will definitely stay here again if it's available the next time I'm in NY.
THE APT: The apartment is really clean and modern and feels like it was renovated recently. I also loved the decor - clean and modern with stylish details (for example, a cool, rustic looking wood slab kitchen table and a bedroom tv stand made from wine crates). Even the bedding felt very fresh and new. The room had cable tv, an A/C, and was stocked with plenty of clean towels. I think they use the room exclusively as an Air Bnb, so it's not like some, where you'll be surrounded by someone else's stuff.
THE PEOPLE: Kian is the Super and his cousin Christopher lives in the apartment. Both are very normal and nice and made me feel very comfortable (important for everyone, but particularly as a female). Kian made it a point to check in to make sure my stay was going well and let me know he was available if I needed to reach him.
THE LOCATION: I used to live in NYC (in Harlem) for a long time, but hadn't spent time in this neighborhood in BK. I liked it. Depending on your perspective, it still could be considered "up and coming", which is not for everyone. That being said, I felt totally comfortable and safe enough that I will consider living there if I move back to NY. The apt is a quick walk to the G subway station. Uber was close by when I needed one, but I didn't see many yellow cabs. I was busy taking a class during my stay, so I didn't really get to explore, but I do know that I ordered delicious food a couple of times through Seamless, which is a good sign that good restaurants are close by.
