Cathy’s spot is definitely a gem in the selection of Brooklyn airbnbs. It’s just big enough to make it feel like you’ve got a good amount of space for NY, and cozy enough to provide a sense of homeyness. It was clean, came with a very well equipped kitchen, and had all essentials one could need, including plenty of linen sheets and bath towels. Because it’s a ground level apt, the living room is pretty close to the street and picks up on a decent amount of noise— but it was never that big of an issue, and the living room itself is also quite cozy with plenty of warm lighting and a big tv with plenty of streaming channels already set up. The apartment is also in a great spot, just a little less than a 5 min walk from A & C lines on Utica ave. Getting into Manhattan takes only 20/25 mins. Although there’s no laundry on site, there are laundromats close enough where it never feels like too big of a chore to get it done. There’s also an abundance of GREAT restaurants nearby.
On top of comfort and convenience provided, Cathy is a superb host and great conversationalist. She’ll definitely make you feel welcomed and knows aaaaaall the cool spots to check out. Overall, this place is a steal and I definitely recommend booking in advance, otherwise you’ll be left with far less great options around the same price mark.
