I feel like we've had the quintessential Brooklyn loft experience, staying with this artistic couple in a converted factory space. We were very happy with the dining options in the immediate neighborhood.
There was a bit of a mix-up since we didn't realize there were two nearly identical rooms in the apartment and only two sets of keys for four people; we and the other guests were convinced AirBnB had double-booked us. But once we got that straightened out, we really enjoyed our stay and would return. Note that some of the earlier reviews of this space mentioned a cat, but apparently there is no cat now.
