My stay at Mark's Stuyvesant Heights apartment was my first experience with Airbnb. My friend and I had decided to stay in a Brownstone and although we first looked at Manhattan we selected Mark's apartment due to wonderful reviews and the charm of his apartment.
All communication with Mark was fast and friendly we easily followed his directions to the apartment via the subway hauling our heavy suitcases.
The apartment is exactly as pictured. We cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen and slept well in the beds.
Plenty of great wifi which is always a priority for me.
Mark made a very good recommendation to go to the Fort Greene farmer's market and we bought smoked duck, salad vegies, bread, muffins and wine and it was all amazing. We also attended Cornerstone Baptist nearby and the friendly welcome we got from locals will stay with us forever. We also went to the local Italian restaurant which was very good and very busy on the night we went. We also tried out a few coffee shops and wished we had more time to go to other restaurants.
All of the local people were friendly and we were often told " to have a good day".
Commuting into central New York was easy and we really looked forward to coming home to our neighbourhood. It really has amazing charm. Coming from a very green semi-rural area in Australia, it was really fun to choose something ver different and we enjoyed every minute.
