This may have been one of our favorite Airbnb stays ever. Great location, friendly and accessible hosts. Small space, with everything you'd need right at your fingertips. (No microwave or coffee pot, but the hot plate, French Press and the toaster oven are perfect alternatives.) Comfy bed, and nice hot shower. The backyard garden is an oasis, a great place for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. There are several subway stops within a 8-10 minute walk, so it's surprisingly accessible. And lots to see within walking distance, too: several parks and the transit museum is fascinating.
Pro-tip: Visit the Gold Street Market deli one street over. (We visited them five times in our six day stay!) Bagels and lox for breakfast in bed, sandwiches or shrimp salad (!!) for a picnic to carry to Brooklyn Bridge Park or cookies and a beverage after a late night running around the city. They are open 24-7.
This was our first try staying in a place that is billed as a room and not a whole house, and we were very pleased. It definitely felt more like our own space than we expected a room to feel. Susan and Michael are a joy to visit with, but they also are sensitive to privacy issues. We'll definitely be back.
