This is my first experience with airbnb. The apartment is very modern with artist style decoration. The room is huge and I really love the bed which is super comfy! Barry is a very good host and friendly, he kept communicating with me on the day I arrived and suggested the best route from JFK to the place and he had to wait for me to check-in almost an hour since the taxi didn't take the fastest route. Barry also helped me very quick when there was a power cut in the room. However, one of the best part of the apartment is an amazing rooftop with the priceless view of Manhattan where you can hang out in early morning and night. For commuting to Manhattan, I would suggest the M line in Central station and L line in Morgan Station. I honestly like the L line as it is more reliable and directly to Manhattan. The neighborhood is Hispanic families, It is quite dark at night on the way back from the subway but I feel safe. Don't forget to check out the New England style pizza at Archee's on Central ave. , along the way to Central station, it is soooo good.
