Akram is a very responsive host. The Airbnb was well equipped in terms of sheets/pillows, etc. but not as much for soap, sponges, etc. It is well located in Brooklyn, but the street itself is a bit squetchy. However, it is a couple of meters away from a beautiful residential area with Brownstone houses (so really, not too bad). We enjoyed the space as it has a big couch/and the rooms are of decent sizes for a Manhattan-area apartment. It is not too long to get to lower Manhattan, but the walk to the subway entrance is about 10-15 minutes away. It was easy to find parking in the area.
