First of all, the photos of this place do not do it justice. It's beautifully decorated and it is a huge apartment. The kitchen is stocked with an abundant array of appliances which was much appreciated as we love to cook. The apartment even has a dishwasher! Which is a hot commodity in nyc. The sofa is long and very comfortable in the sitting room and across from it is a large tv with chromecast (very handy for netflix and chill). There are many gorgeous plants dotted around the apartment and the ceilings are very high. The apartment is in a very safe, family-orientated neighbourhood. It is about a 7 minute walk to the train station and there are lots of lovely cafes and restaurants in the area (must recommend Brooklyn Commune, Lea's and Propellerhead). Our favourite thing to do in the morning is to stop in brooklyn commune and grab and coffee and a bagel for 5 bucks before heading into manhattan (around 20 mins on the trains). The apartment is also about a 3 minute walk to the beautiful Prospect Park (beats central any day in my opinion). There are always activities on in the park and you can even rent out boats in the lake. Anna herself was extremely accommodating and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was still easy to contact despite her travelling in Europe. Eric, her husband, gave us the tour of the apartment and even let us leave our bags in the apartment the night before we were due to move in. Overall, it was the perfect airbnb experience - both host and apartment exceeded our expectations and beyond.
