Carly was a great communicator and has a great eye for design! We enjoyed our stay while me and my partner visited new york for five days. The trips to manhattan were fun on the ferry, but be mindful that it is not a convenient route. There is a bus option or walk to the closest metro - we found the ferry the most useful. There is noise that trickles in from Carly and her family from upstairs. The children are young and energetic, the early morning can be quite loud and the voices and steps do echo into the airbnb. I personally would wake up as I am a lighter sleeper and would find it difficult to go back to sleep. As it is a basement there can also be some bugs so be wary. It is hard to be bothered by them though when the interior design of the space is so thoughtful and creatively designed. A final comment would be that there is some personal storage going on in the airbnb and so some areas of the space are less usable than what is shown in the photos (such as the desk). However, we appreciated other attention to detail such as leaving espresso pods for us and the plenty of towels! Red Hook was a hidden gem, we really enjoyed our stay and learning about the history of the area. Thank you again, Carly!
