If we could give Mona's place 10 stars we would!! First off, the location was great. We were not too far into Brooklyn that it didn't make going into the city a drag, but we could still see a lot of Brooklyn. My wife and I only stayed for a few days but we got a metro card and used the subway to get everywhere. There is a stop right around the corner from Mona's place. We were very impressed with the location.
Second, Mona was so hospitable! We've stayed at Airbnbs a few times but we have not been able to find a host as accommodating as Mona. We were scheduled to fly in and be in Brooklyn by 10 pm and Mona was going to be at the apartment for check in. Then, our flight got delayed. Once we finally flew in to JFK, the airline lost our luggage! Mona waited on us to when we finally were able to get to her place around 2 am!! And she was so sweet about it. The next day, the airline was going to deliver our luggage to the apartment right at the time we were scheduled to be at a concert. We asked Mona about it and she went to the apartment and got the luggage and brought it in for us!! We were so thankful that she was available to help! She is seriously AWESOME.
Last, the place itself is so cute. It's the perfect size for a couple of days or a whole week. She has everything you need. Clean bathroom, cute kitchen, and a space for sleeping. The bed was VERY comfortable and fit us two just fine. We had plenty of space and didn't feel crammed at all. We didn't experience a lot of noise or disturbance. We were actually in the apartment very little, but the times we were there were very comfortable and home-y for us.
Overall, we had a lot of mishaps on our trip to NYC, but having Mona and her place was the best choice we made! We will definitely be back!!
