TL:DR - After nearly 9 months of travelling through the Americas using Airbnb, this is our best experience yet.
The Apartment: Beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, better than advertised.
The Location: We were a little intimidated at first but wound up finding the people more friendly than than Williamsburg and Greenpoint where we had stayed previously. Its not the trendiest neighberhood but there is some great food a short walk away (Josandra left a boklet with great recommendations) and it is extremely easy to access Williamsburg and Manhattan from the subway which is also a short walk away. We found reasonable coffee at Georges-Andre Vintage Cafe. We are poor sleepers so appreciated the quiet neighberhood at night.
Host Communication: Perfect, couldnt have been easier.
If coming back to Brooklyn we would definitely stay here again if it was available.
