Danielle and Brian arrived at the Air BnB around 5:30, Easter Sunday evening.
Their plan for the night's excursion was to settle in, relax, shower, brush up, enjoy dinner then make their way to a mercurial rock n' roll show in one of the more affluent subsections of gentrified Brooklyn.
Upon their arrival, they were informed by their host via text message that he stepped out a moment to walk his dog; that he'd be back momentarily. This was no matter because it allowed Danielle and Brian the opportunity to explore the immediate neighbor, resulting in two cups of a coffee from a local shop.
Once the man and his dog returned from their walk, cordial conversation was immediately struck between host and guest. Danielle and Brian felt comfortable, if not entirely excited.
Then, once inside the Air BnB, Danielle and Brian were welcomed as friends. They were asked to make themselves at home, and to help themselves to anything in the kitchen.
The host continued the vibe from outside. He was kind, altruistic, and attentive to the young couple's temperamental needs, acting as concierge when asked the peculiar request of where to find a plate of polenta. (Though not his fault, based on a quick internet browse and subsequent suggestion, the café Five Leaves does not in fact have polenta as advertised online. They do however have ricotta with dates, which is ass.)
The apartment was spartan, modern, and clean. Though relatively small, the furniture in the living room was arranged with an open floor plan. All throughout the home, upon book shelves, dressers, windowsills, sat various types of plants of varying health. This breathed a certain life into the home, which with dog and an idle acoustic guitar, gave the young couple a sense of comfort and peace. Jolly good.
The guest bedroom reflected the accompanying rooms: a queen sized bed, nightstands on either side, and a closet with enough empty space for temporary use. The bed was comfortable with fresh pillow cases and sheets. A good night's rest after a night of rock n' roll was practically guaranteed. The small furnace beneath the window was quite warm in the morning, which balanced nicely with the bizarre snowstorm that brushed through the post-Easter morning.
Overall, and to keep this review succinct, Danielle and Brian only had a nice time in Brooklyn, but a very enjoyable stay thanks in large part to their Air BnB and host. Without a doubt, without a single moment of hesitation, they would most certainly rebook, which they hope to be soon.
