My wife and I ran across this listing when we were planning a long weekend trip to New York with our (mostly adult) kids. We have a big family and they all had different thoughts about the best way to spend our days, so we wanted to provide a safe and comfortable place they could retreat to, with convenient access to the city and to Brooklyn.
The apartment provided all of that and more. It is two floors (entry floor, with dining and living rooms and upper floor with bedrooms) of a beautifully appointed, high-ceilinged brownstone. There were eight of us in total, and the apartment was spacious enough to accommodate all of us very comfortably. The beds were comfortable and warm, the living room was well furnished (and made a great planning hub), the large dining room was a wonderful space to share meals and the kitchen included everything we needed (or could imagine needing). It was also a very clean, airy and bright apartment, with plenty of natural light.
To add to that, there was very convenient, walkable, access to the subway (the host provided detailed subway maps), and there are dozens of restaurants nearby, available grocery stores and nearby lots with off street parking. All in all, an excellent location that well exceeded our expectations.
We are relatively new to AirBnB, and the host had excellent communication, responding to all of our questions, providing plenty of detail and, in general, helping us through the process. Check in and check out were a breeze.
We would recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay to visit NYC, and I hope we’ll be able to visit again.
