I visited NYC with my mom and a friend and stayed at Renata & Howard's Airbnb. Everything was wonderful. The place was even more beautiful than we expected. The street was very cute and safe, and we were a 5-10 minute walk from the Prospect Park and Sterling Ave subway stops. Be sure to check out Wholesome Market for a bagel and groceries on your way to the Prospect Park subway. The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens are near the park and are free Friday mornings before noon.
I would highly recommend staying here thanks to Renata and Howard's hospitality and their newly renovated place. The rain shower was simply glorious after 4 full days of walking in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I will definitely be coming back here if I'm ever again in NYC.
