We spent a wonderful couple of days at Dee's studio in Brooklyn, and left feeling it is places like this that add so much value to airb&b compared to other types of accommodation. The studio is located in a nice part of Brooklyn, a leafy residential street with lots of shops, restaurants. and two subway stations nearby; it is clean and comfortable (bed, fridge, kettle, ...) and it has character and style. But what really made a difference was the warm welcome we got from Dee's friend David, who went out of his way to provide us with information and tips. We had just arrived in the US and getting help with subway routes, where to eat (we tried Peaches on Hopkins at his suggestion and had a great meal there) and lots of other things made the first few days of our US trip easy and very enjoyable.
