jamie and steven's place was great: exactly as pictured/ described. it's near groceries, delis, laundries and cute cafes and 2 blocks from the G train which is actually a very convenient train for getting around brooklyn (and it connects with all major train lines to manhattan). the ara is cery safe and pretty with parks and playgrounds nearby. their backyard is lovely and a delight for morning coffee or whenever you need a peaceful break from the city. and you couldn't ask for better hosts! they are the friendliest, most accommodating and nicest couple i've ever met on airbnb. jamie's almost never there and steven is sometimes around but is super quiet and is always only upstairs - the duplex layout ensures total privacy. fyi they have the sweetest cat and happily, even though i have mild cat allergies, i was totally ok and unaffected by their adorable kitty. i would highly recommend and stay here again!
