Just okay, there was good and bad.
Having stayed in AirBnB’s I would have to say this is not the standard we have come to expect BUT it could be amazing.
I’ll start with the good - The location is great and provides a real Brooklyn experience with local shops and restaurants starting almost next door. We walked to the Brooklyn Bridge and didn’t find it a problem and used the subway which is just a short walk around the corner. We interacted with many locals in the area and never felt unsafe or unwelcome in their neighbourhood.
Now the bad - I chose to stay here based on reviews and can see why people could have loved it. The space is great but it feels like the love and care of hosting has been lost along the way. Previous reviews have commented on the hospitality and even the guide book left inside the home states ‘there are fresh eggs in your refrigerator and treats from Mekelburg’s (The Best!) for your enjoyment’ and ‘The “Whirly POP” makes the best popcorn, help yourself. Sounds great but no eggs, no treats and no popcorn kernels. There was only a container of hand soap in the bathroom and no other toiletries. Dahrehn did contact me on the second day and I requested a tea towel or paper towel for the kitchen which was left outside our door later that night. I didn’t question the treats as this wasn’t something we needed but it did feel like our 3 nights were not enough to warrant this or that the love of hosting had gone.
My husband for the first time since using AirBnB in Australia and overseas commented on cleanliness issues within the apartment.
I do hope the space becomes as wonderful as the previous reviews make it sound and that future guests enjoy booth the location and the space.
