Tom's place is really, really lovely. The house is incredibly spacious and feels like a 1920s / 1930s build. A slight art deco vibe, which I loved. Having two full bathrooms was also a big plus, with three of us staying a whole week.
The house is really well situated between a bunch of nearby Metro stops, and the neighbourhood itself is great. East New York is ungentrified and unpretentious. Good delis over swish cupcake spots any day. Takes about 50mins to Manhattan.
Lastly, although we didn't meet him, Tom was really accommodating and always responded really quickly through the AirBNB app.
A good time was had by all.
