If I could give more than 5 stars to Barry I would! I stayed in Barry’s garden level apartment for a month with a friend. It’s an exceptionably comfortable space for a long term Airbnb. The apartment is as pictured- 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large kitchen/living room. However, what makes this rental stand out is all the attention to details - the furnishings are cozy and high quality, and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to feel at home. I also really appreciated the Bluetooth speaker and the TV with lots of streaming services.
Barry was the most attentive and kind host I’ve ever had on Airbnb. He lives above the unit and usually responds within a couple minutes to any messages. When we arrived he had snacks/coffee/tea waiting for us. At one point I was cooking a more elaborate dinner and he responded immediately with some ad hoc requests for baking supplies.
The location of the rental could also not be any better. It’s situated on a quiet, safe tree-lined street. I loved walking around the neighborhood looking at all the historic brownstones. There’s an abundance of local cafes, bars, and restaurants within a couple blocks. If you need to commute into Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn, the A/C line is nearby.
Wish I could’ve stayed longer!
