John's place was unlike anything I've ever stayed in using Airbnb — a cavernous, expansive warehouse near Flushing Avenue station in Brooklyn, with plenty charm.

I loved having access to John's turntable to play any vinyl records, his colourful LED lights fitted into the incredibly tall ceiling, and access to the roof via a ladder in the room next door.

The place has about 8-9 other people staying there, but everybody has plenty space, and John's room is up a flight of stairs and out of the way, so you don't have to worry about noise.

Whilst this is unavoidable, eight people does mean you end up tactically running for the shower which isn't the cleanest, and whilst there's a second 'toilet room', it's really for the cats, and isn't the pleasant.

A lived in, proper artsy, beautifully massive, artists residence in Brooklyn.
