5 stars is not enough! Everything about our stay at Andi & David's place was incredible. To start, their home is absolutely gorgeous; the space is both boldly stylish and soothing, they have great taste and the photos do not do it justice. We were fortunate enough to visit in mid-September when the weather was perfect, and spent many of our nights with the garage door up, enjoying the patio space (you know you're staying somewhere great when you have all of NYC at your door and you choose to stay home). We had plenty of space and beds for 6 adult guests, and it was very easy for us to come and go as we needed. Everyone was stunned by how beautiful and comfortable the space was, it was perfect for a birthday getaway.
Aside from the house itself, we really enjoyed staying in Greenpoint. As travelers quite familiar with NYC, we were initially hesitant to stay in a neighborhood that was somewhat "out of the way", but man, were we wrong. Greenpoint was charming and offered plenty to do within walking distance - lots of restaurants, bars, parks, and Williamsburg was a 10 minute walk away. The neighborhood was safe and friendly, and we had no trouble catching the train and arriving in Manhattan in 30 minutes.
Lastly, this was easily the most personal experience I've had on Airbnb. Andi was attentive, checking in here and there, making sure we arrived safely and were doing well. She was always quick to answer questions we had about the house and provide food and activity recommendations in the neighborhood. They provided how-to videos for items around the house, a PDF packet with checkin and checkout details, and were available to answer any remaining questions we had. We definitely felt cared for, thank you for being so trusting with your space.
Bottom line - I'm running out of words for how highly I recommend Andi & David's place. This is going to be a hard experience to beat :)
