Our 4 night stay at Lily's apartment was great!
She was very kind to let us stay all 8 of us in her apartment, at the last minute and for a great price. She was a real life saver!
when ever we needed to ask something she was always available.
The apartment's location is great, a nice quiet street in walking distance from a few subway stations- making it easy to get to Manhattan and all the tourist sites. And since we are Jewish the location was even better, because the apartment is right on the border of the Jewish area in Brooklyn so we had no problem finding kosher food and synagogues.
Although we couldn't use it (from religious reasons) all the food and dishes in the apartment's kitchen were amazing! You can cook and serve full meals and feel like at home.
The apartment is very spacious and sparkling clean! a lot bigger in reality than it seems in the pictures/description (The only thing worth improving is adding another AC unit in the rooms- not that it wasn't bearable- and we were 8. If you leave the bedrooms' doors open the AC in the living room does the job. I feel kind of bad even writing this).
For our first Airbnb experience- we couldn't have found a better host/place (especially in NYC)!
I will definitely stay there again if I'm in NYC and highly recommend it for families that just need a nice clean place to stay while in The Big Apple.
