This was my first ever Air BNB experience and it will be a tough act to follow. Not only was the room exactly as described, but its location was impossible to beat, walking distance to the Brooklyn Bridge, the East River Ferry, the subway, and Dumbo, with incredible views of Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge park. If you love photography like I do it will make you swoon! The neighbourhood was cute, friendly and safe, with Mario's place right in the middle of coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and the most incredible market full of fresh produce and grocery items.
Mario himself was a total treasure. He took the time to walk me around his neighbourhood to get me acquainted, showing me the beautiful historic buildings and charming tree lined streets. He was so helpful and informative. Travelling on my own I was not sure what to expect but he was so sweet, and if you wanted to chat and hang out he was up for it, but also gave you plenty of space if you just wanted to chill out. I could easily go back and stay there for much longer next time, with my husband and son, knowing now what a perfect place this is.
You couldn't really do better if you want a really well priced base from which to explore Brooklyn and Manhattan. I'd give 10 stars if I could!
