First of all, it's a shipping container house. There's no way you can go wrong there. It's stacked up 3 levels, with a basement (where this listing is), a first floor office and the other Airbnb (I believe), the 2nd floor living room and kitchen, and the 3rd floor with David and Janet's bedroom. There's an awesome roof where they host New Years parties. It seems like it's a constant work-in-progress, and David and Janet will happily tell you what they're eyeing to work on next (when we were there, they wanted to renovate the kitchen).
David and Janet themselves were amazing hosts - communicative and extremely friendly. They invited me up for tea the first night I got in, and showed my friend and I pictures from their New Years party. The second reason you can't go wrong: Mormon. Mormon is the most beautiful fluffy (huge) endearing dog, and he kinda just comes up to you and wags his tale and looks super happy when you pet him. (Though I suppose if you don't like dogs, then Mormon might not be for you).
The room itself was just as pictured - cozy and eclectic. My friend was on the bed, and I was on the pull out couch, and we were very comfortable the week or so we were there. We were there in January, but David and Janet had just put in heated floors and we had nothing to fear from the winter.
The Airbnb itself is in between two subway stations, serviced with 3 trains that go directly into Manhattan, so the location was quite ideal especially for the price.
My only regret is that we were out most of the time and didn't get to talk with David and Janet as much; I would have loved to learn more about their lives and experiences in Brooklyn, I'm sure they have so many more interesting stories to tell.
Thank you for having us!
