Long story short, I highly recommend Peter’s apartment in Brooklyn for everyone eager to get the real meaning of renting an Airbnb: having a feeling of being at home while on vacation.
Peter is by far the best host I’ve met so far, the communication before and during our stay was great. Peter provides you with detailed information for traveling to his apartment from every possible airport in NYC, it took us roughly 45 minutes from JFK to this apartment! Furthermore, during your whole stay you can chat with him and ask for recommendations, etc. Even though Peter provides a locker box for the keys as a self-check-in, the welcome at his apartment still felt very warm and welcoming. Peter and his wife provided a big welcome sign for my parents and me in the door hall. We spend a week in NYC to celebrate my father’s birthday, Peter was so generous to provide a small gift for his birthday and even decorated the apartment with Happy Birthday signs – even though this is “a small gesture”, for us it was that surprising and made my father happy, that it made his day! And if that’s not enough, you also get small snacks, coffee, water, and cornflakes on top – how lovely is that?! Thanks again, Peter! I have never met or heard about another host or hotel manager being so friendly and trying to make you feel welcome!
The apartment itself looks exactly as in the provided images; it is clean and well equipped, the location is great, and there are grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes nearby. You have three possible subway stations to travel to Manhattan - the A/C train and the J train. We used to grab a coffee at a nearby store and enjoyed the short morning walk to the station, which is great because you get to know Brooklyn even better!
All in all, I recommend Peter’s apartment to everyone searching for a nice, quiet, comfortable, and clean stay during your trip to NYC. Do not look any further, this is the place to be! Thank you so much, Peter! We will be back.
