This was our first experience with Airbnb. My goal was to find a place in NY that allowed us to be close to the cultural side of NY (at a great price) while having quick access to the surrounding metropolitan areas. With our four children (ages 13, 12, 9 and 4), we arrived at Ed's place in the early evening. While my family was a little suspect of the urban Brooklyn setting, Ed quickly brought us to ease by having the house in great shape and breakfast in the frig for the next morning. He topped it off by ordering a delicious pizza which hit the spot after a long drive!

The house was less than .5 mile from the subway and the onsite parking space was extremely convenient. We didn't spend a lot of time inside the house, but it was comfortable for all six of us with two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Ed was available for any questions throughout the trip and he gave us recommendations for nearby sites such as the downtown Brooklyn promenade and the up and coming Williamsburg area (the Lodge is a wonderful restaurant, btw). Ed was also very generous in printing out the Yankees tickets which we had purchased and delivering them to the house.

Any hesitation we had with the area was quickly gone by the next day as we settled in. It was a wonderful experience with Airbnb and Ed was a big reason for that. Thanks, Ed.
