Mae's flat was just perfect for us. We travelled to New York from London with our 2.5 yo son and our nanny and it almost felt like coming home. The flat itself is very large, with big bedrooms, a large living room/dining/kitchen area and a huge guest bedroom/play area in the lower ground floor. There is a big outside space with a trampoline which was great for our kid (although it was still winter weather). The flat is well equipped with everything you need and Mae allowed us to use the scooter and pushchair for our son.
The checkin is easy with a lockbox outside the flat. The area (Greenpoint) is very nice, very diverse, with lots of little shops and cafes around - there is a large supermarket with lots of organic food around the corner (not cheap though...) and the ferry to Manhattan is about 7-9 min away, as are the two subway stations. There is a small playground at the end of the street for kids to play.
We had to shorten our 3-week trip in NYC and fly back home earlier than scheduled due to the coronavirus lock down but Mae was very understanding and made our change of dates very easy.
I would recommend Mae's place to anyone who is looking for a genuine Airbnb experience in New York/Brooklyn.
We couldn't have found better for our family and within our budget.
