As a newbie to Airbnb, Lance took a chance on me without any of the required reviews necessary to stay in a shared living environment. I couldn't be more honored that he accepted me as I told him I was a mom visiting my 30 year old son for an early Thanksgiving and bday celebration. He welcomed me with open arms, carried my bag down three flights of stairs, was super friendly and accommodating the entire four days I stayed. I felt right at home. The penthouse was beautifully decorated, super spacious, offers every amenity you can imagine, and the shower was amazing! I have zero complaints and recommend this place 100%. At the end of the visit, I felt I had made some awesome new friends. I hope to keep in touch with them even if I'm not going back to Brooklyn within the next year. I will be sure to check with them far in advance next time I do visit!!
