Getting in to the Airbnb on your own is so easy/user friendly no matter the time of day. Jianren is very quick to respond to messages and accommodate any requests. Highly recommend this place and host.
Very cool location despite it not being in “the heart of Brooklyn”. Great price for a well-kept unit. Was fun to discover a bit of Bushwick when walking a few blocks around our Airbnb in the mornings and nights. The deli bodega next door makes great “chopped cheese” sandwiches - a NY must try sandwich, and the employees/owners were great fun to chat with. Down a couple blocks was a very cool, high quality coffee shop that’s built out of a camping trailer called “Til Death”. It only has only outdoor seating which was great for fall weather during a pandemic, but it’s on the way to the nearby subway station so it’s easy to grab a great coffee/espresso drink on your way to/from the station. There’s also a great small Mexican bodega with a counter service restaurant inside that makes delicious Mexican food, called “Regalo de Juquila” - very cheap and delish food. Also “OMG Pizza” was nearby - great pizza by the slice. There are several very fun, unique, small bars nearby.
There’s a train station less than 5 minutes away (walking) which made it so easy to get to connecting subways when we wanted explore more of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
A 5 minute walk from the Airbnb is a very fabulous, unique, very NY, boutique called “Risk Boutique.” There are many one of a kind pieces made by local NY designers as well as fabulous consignment pieces and accessories. The owner and one of the clothing designers (Lindsay Risk) was so fun and provided great customer service.
Very vcool & fun neighborhood to explore at night when you get back from doing the standard tourist things or before you go do them.
