We came to New York on holidays with our 12yo daughter .In spite of our late arrival, Jo welcomed us as friends.A wine bottle waited for us and the fridge was full, allowing us to have dinner without going out, what is considerable after a long and tiring journey. As Carmia was working out of town, we did not meet her, but she made sure that everything was well for us during all the stay.
I was in NYC to run the marathon, and Jo once brought back a massage bar for me. He also brought back an art magazine for our daughter, as she told him she was interested in street art.He told us where to go to find spots of mural paintings in Bushwick.Many little things that make difference with other modes of accomodation, isn't it?
Carmia and Jo are nice people and made our first experience with Airbnb successful.
The apt is clean and cute, tastefully decorated.The kitchen is full equiped.The WiFi works correctly, what else? The little garden is very pleasant and facilitate the contact with Carmia and Jo who live in the floor.
About their location, the neighborhood is friendly and safe, even late at night.Little supermarket just one (short) block.The place is quiet, and you can get to the howling Manhattan in less than 20 mn.The metro is just around the corner to get the J or M train to Midtown and you can get the A, B or C train to Financial district in one station.
We particularly appreciated Bushwick for its murals, galleries, cafés and trendy shops, around Jefferson and Troutman St.Brooklyn is definitely the place to be if you already know Manhattan, and Carmia's apt is a very good choice to experiment the life of a Brooklynite.
If you had the patience to read this review till the end, you understood that we highly recommend you to meet Carmia and Jo to be sure to have a good holiday to NYC.
We thank them for their kindness and hope they will not change with the success which they deserve.
Stéphane, Nedjma and Sana.
