What a great treat it was staying in Katie's apt in Boerum Hill! Her home was comfortable, clean and very convenient. A classic Brooklyn Brownstone apt. I stayed there along with my daughter and niece on our short trip to NYC. It has an open plan kitchen/lounge with two bedrooms off and a bathroom. The master bedroom has a very comfortable Tempur style mattress- after heavy days of walking the streets of NY, crashing out on that bed was a great relief! The other bedroom is a nursery for her 2yr old but the lounge has a dbl sofa bed, which the girls shared! There is ample space in the kitchen for cooking, with a huge countertop for preparing and eating food. The bathroom is small but well appointed with everything we needed. The reality is- I know the area really well as my friends live right on the same street, so being near them was the main priority. We just needed a base to crash in after our trips into Manhattan and the surrounding areas. Right next door is a great coffee shop and right next to that is the trendy Smith St, with great bars, restaurants and boutique clothes stores. Many different subway stations are within 2-10 mins walk.
If we had wanted to cook more than breakfast and small snacks, the facilities would have been perfect. Katie provided clean linen and plenty of towels. There was mineral water and breakfast bars for us when we arrived, just to tide us over until we managed to reach the shops. We booked really last minute and with that in mind, Katie managed to organise our stay really quickly. She made her home very welcoming and we felt very at home! I would definitely stay here again and most definitely recommend it to others. 1st time in AirBnB and Katie's first customers too..... All round great result!
