We had to leave our trip early so did not have a full experience but will note a few things we would have liked to know before booking for future guests. Although the unit itself is private with lockable doors, the host and family live in the home (lower level) and I think there is another airbnb unit on the upper floor. Noise travelled easily so it was not as private as we are used to with similar rentals... could hear family in their day to day routine, eating/coming and going/arguing/laughing/etc. and other guests above us coming back late at night. The bathroom, although not shared, is not part of the unit. It is located in the hallway beside the unit which is part of the main home, next to the stairway used to access the main floor/front door and the upper airbnb unit. This made returning to the unit after showering and using the washroom in the night awkward. Additionally, there is no shower, although the tub has a long shower head attachment and full shower curtain so you can wash standing. Lastly, and I realize this is a total tourist thing and our fault for not researching further but although Brooklyn is known for recent development as a trendy area, Bed-Stuy is still considered an unsafe area (according to Google Safety Maps and local New Yorkers we met in Manhattan....This included a homeless guy helping us with the subway who looked utterly shocked we were staying there, indicating he used to live there). I went for coffee and bagels our first morning at a cute place down the street and the server made a derogatory comment about tourists (implying tourists don't know what "real money" is and try to use $50s). While I'm not sure if he was referring to me (I paid with a $20), we didn't feel overly welcome in the neighbourhood. Subhana was helpful and very responsive during our time there. The unit is beautiful and spacious, clean, comfy bed. All the good travel necessities available like hair dryer, iron & ironing board, umbrellas.
