As we were repatriating from a three year stint in China, we needed a place we could call home from which we could launch our own search. Anthony’s place fit the bill, with ample space for all our luggage and a great location both to explore Brooklyn but also a short walk to Manhattan bound subway lines. My office is at Park and 50th, and it was still just 40 minutes door to door.
Anthony’s descriptions are accurate. What you are getting is a quirky, eclectic space with style that he has clearly nurtured over many years. It skews high on the coolness scale, and is what makes AirBnB so much better than staying in a hotel.
A couple of suggestions if you are planning to stay: the bedroom is on the 2nd floor overlooking Myrtle Ave., a fairly busy street so there is both light and street noise. But with foam earplugs and an airplane eyepatch, neither of these was a problem.
If you get the chance and want to explore a cool part of Brooklyn, give Anthony’s place a shot. It’ll be a memorable induction.
