My family and I had an amazing time in New York on this past trip. Having visited New York many times (and living in Long Island for a few years) we decided to stay in Brooklyn for this 7-day Vacation.
Delores and her husband Mike truly went above and beyond. They made us feel so comfortable, which isn't always easy when you're traveling with three children under the age of five. The apartment was very clear and Delores had everything laid out for us when we arrived. The bathrooms were stocked with new soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The kitchen was stocked with cooking supplies, utensils, paper towel and dish soap. This was a nice touch because we didn't have to run out as soon as we arrived to get situated (like in other rental units).
The laundry was stocked with detergent for us so we were able to travel light and wash/dry our clothes while on vacation.
The apartment was spacious with a tv in the living room. This was nice because my wife and I were able to stay up late in the living room once we put the kids down in the bedroom.
Directly across the street was a great playground/sprinkler pad open to the public. For me, this was one of the biggest highlights. I was able to take the kids right across the street for a few hours to play every morning while the rest of the family was just getting up.
The apartment is about an 8-minute walk to the subway line which is great! It was roughly a 15-minute walk to the Brooklyn Bridge. Directly behind the apartment was an amazing community pool and children's splash pad (free admission). We used the pool a few times and really enjoyed it.
We would definitely stay with Delores and Mike when we come back to New York. This was our best Airbnb experience to date and I recommend them to any individual, couple or family.
