Shana's place is, hands down, one of the nicest airbnb's I've stayed in over the past few years using this service. Akin to that of a hotel, Shana's apartment is clean, homely, comfortable and stylish.

What's more, you can't get a better neighbourhood. In the heart of Brooklyn's trendy Williamsburg, it's a mere stones store from some of the cities best bars, restaurants, stores and so on.

The fact that there's access to an outdoor pool and a fully fledged gym is a mere bonus.

Shana herself couldn't be more accommodating recommending local places to check out, always on hand for questions and is, all round, a perfect host.

I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.
