A cute hippy vibe apartment on the 3rd floor in a small town called Bay Ridge. Apartment has a room with one single bed, an air mattress and sofa/futon in the common room. Apartment faces the street. Came during first snow and it was absolutely beautiful waking up to fresh snow on the trees and streets right outside the window. Cute little park right next to the apartment as well as Owl Head's Park 2 streets away. The R train is a street away. Takes about 30 minutes by sub to get into lower Manhattan.
Clell is an amazing host. He always asked us if we needed anything or if we needed any recommendations or tips. Really cool dude with lots of stories and always having a good laugh. Get to know this guy, and definitely hang out with him. TRUST ME. It will be your most memorable part of your stay.
Definitely one of those towns where everyone knows each other. Lots of small shops. Walk a couple streets down and you can get yourself one of those Rainbow Bagels buzzfeed covered (I recommend the French Toast Bagel though!) Three Jolly Pigeons Pub is around the corner. Nice and cozy pub where everyone knows each other. Heard there are karaoke nights. Closes at 4am, but bartender doesn't force people out till 5am. Very safe neighborhood. There's a 24 hour Rite Aid 2 streets away as well in case you need anything. LIKE SUPER SAFE. I FEEL SAFER HERE THAN I DO IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Also, water is not provided, so if you're not about that amazingly soft New York tap water life, I recommend buying a jug of water from Rite Aid, or you know, just alcohol.
This honestly has been the first Airbnb that felt like a home away from home. Thank you Clell!
