This was easily the best airbnb experience we've had. A gem of a gem - you should absolutely stop browsing and just book now if you can. We felt so lucky to have Melbourne's place as our home base.
You're in a very cool, authentic Brooklyn neighborhood, yet you're just around the corner on a nice residential street where you will sleep like a baby! Speaking of which, that BED. Good lord. We never expected to sleep so well on a busy week in NYC.
Every convenience you could need is practically right outside your door, including the awesome subway plaza that easily connects you to literally everything. Even the longer commutes from Newkirk station are pretty straightforward and involve minimal transfers or hassles. It's a 3 minute walk!
The room is big and bright but still super cozy. Tons of space, secure and private. The bathroom was CLEAN and the shower was PERFECT. The mini fridge was a nice bonus, one of many thoughtful touches, and Melbourne was kind enough to share the laundry room when we needed it.
I could go on and on (clearly). The value here is outstanding. You're paying for a room, but you're getting so much more. You'll love it. Great neighborhood, great place, and a great host! We'll be back for sure.
