This was our first airbnb experience, so we were a bit hesitant to book, but the apartment and Brendan were amazing! Friends and family were coming to NY for our wedding, and we wanted a big enough place to accommodate them. The place looked just as it does in the pictures, close to the subway, everything was brand new, beds are super comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with utensils, and there was a house phone which was useful for our international guests to communicate with us...better than any hotel! Brendan was also very responsive and flexible. Since this was a new place, the A/C wasn't installed yet, so it got a bit muggy some days, that will probably change soon. Also, don't expect this to be your hipster Brooklyn neighborhood :) though like most of Brooklyn, that may change soon... Great value, highly recommend.
