This is the most unique Airbnb I've ever stayed in. If you are looking for THE MOST Brooklyn/NYC loft living experience this is it. The street is quiet and has quite a few coffee shops and breakfast spots around.
The host is fantastic, and he left a great guide for navigating the apartment as well as local places to walk. The apartment itself is very vintage, very spacious, and has an incredible view of the Manhattan skyline.
If you're looking for "polished" places to stay, this probably isn't the best spot. It's got a gritty, hipster vibe, but it's Brooklyn, so it's perfect. The neighborhood feels very safe with lots of people out and about walking around.
Painter's Paradise is what makes Airbnb awesome. You could never get an authentic Brooklyn experience like this any other way. Highly recommended!
P.S. Be sure to do breakfast at Bakeri just around the corner.
