This was not our favourite Airbnb experience. Although the place was clean and communication with Madison was smooth, it felt quite small and not as well-connected as we had hoped. The J train is just around the corner, but every other line is a 15-minute walk away, and it always took us a minimum of 45 minutes to get just about anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn. The apartment is just big enough for 2, definitely not 3, especially if you have luggage. It's minimally appointed, with just a bed and no bedside table, for example, and nowhere to really sit outside the bedroom. Being on a main boulevard, it can also get pretty loud at night and in the morning (traffic, music, etc.). We've stayed in New York a few times before, and we know it's not always easy to find clean, comfortable, and central accommodation, but this still felt expensive for what it was.
