Andrew and Adriana were dream hosts, and their apartment was a dream stay! I only met them during my check-in and didn't see them after but that was because I spent the entire day exploring and out of the house. On arrival, they greeted me personally at the door, introduced themselves, and gave me a tour of the apartment and my room. Everything was very well-organized and nothing was left unclear or up in the air. I also appreciated how insistent they were on cleanliness, especially since it's a shared bathroom.
Adriana is a graphic designer and has deigned a cute little guide to NYC, including a section on the couple's favorite local restaurants that I used (and enjoyed) multiple times. That felt like they were going above and beyond to me. They also have various cool NYC-themed coffee table books in the room for you to browse if you wish.
I can''t emphasize how important it is that where you stay is near a subway stop, and this apartment is as close as you can get. Walk out the front door and turn the corner and you are there. Even better, the subway stop they are near (4 Av/9 St) serves 3 major lines - the F, G, and R, all of which will take you into Manhattan and to all of the major NYC sights as far as Central Park within 35 minutes. The trains also have decent connections to other areas of Brooklyn, allowing you to explore areas of the borough you wouldn't otherwise normally. Carry a backpack and a book and the time will fly by. It is such a steal being so close to the train, in such a desirable part of Brooklyn. Within 10 minutes walk are several delicious restaurants, bagel shops, and the gorgeous Prospect Park. Wonderful stay altogether, and if I am back in NYC in the future and this room is available, I will be booking again!
