I want to start by saying Katsiaryna really gave us an exceptional and one-of-a-kind Airbnb experience, this was BEYOND the best Airbnb host I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with! It is an understatement to say she was such an extremely accommodating host, she truly made my girlfriend and I feel at home in every sense. Though we only stayed there for a weekend, throughout our stay she would gift us fresh pastries from a local bakery, a couple cans of wine, and many servings of her delicious homemade banana bread! She even offered my girlfriend and I a ride home when we were out late at night in Brooklyn. I can't stress enough how much Katsiaryna took care of us, 5 stars isn't enough for her! I haven't even gotten to her studio yet! The check-in process was extremely simple, and Katsiaryna was very detailed in her messages and is an excellent communicator at all times of the day and night! Her space is lovely in every sense of the word! For starters, it's decorated beautifully and very visually appealing. The studio was extremely well-equipped, beyond any Airbnb I've ever stayed in! There is a smart TV in the studio, and the queen-size bed is very comfortable. In the bathroom, you'll find any and all essentials you'll need, and the shower was SO nice and comfortable, we never wanted to leave it! And to say the kitchen is fully equipped would also be an understatement! This place truly had it all, a full oven and stove, a toaster, blender, electric kettle, even an air fryer! She even had an assortment of snacks for us sitting in the kitchen, which we certainly took advantage of! The temperature was always very comfortable in the studio, even in the summer, as there's a big window AC unit to cool the place off when needed. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, residential, and conveniently close to the A train, which got us into the city within an hour. Just below the A train is a cluster of wonderful stores and food spots, we were bummed we couldn't visit them all! But if you're in for a classic New York slice, definitely visit Boardwalk Pizza, you can't go wrong! Just a ten minute walk down to the water from the place and you're at Rockaway Beach! All in all, this place is everything you could ask for in an Airbnb, a private, comfy, extremely well-equipped space, with an absolutely exceptional host. I assure you that you will not regret booking this Airbnb if you're staying in NYC. Our stay was as perfect as it gets, and Katsiaryna will make sure your stay is the same, if not better!
