I've used AirBnB only abroad and typically for stays of at least one to three months. I've never shared an apartment, instead, always opting for a place of my own. Boy have I been missing out!
I arrived in NYC not knowing it was the week in which schools and universities held their graduations. There was not a hotel room to be had for less than $800, if there was one to be had at all.
I reached out to Erika at the last minute, and she jumped into action to get the room ready for me unexpectedly after the previous guest had just left.
After a long and stressful day, Erika's place was like a spa filled with delightful energy. It was spotless. I'm typically allergic to dogs, and there was not a hair anywhere.
If you're lucky enough to stay with Erika, be ready to hear interesting stories and spend time with someone who you'll want to become a friend. I seriously nearly booked extra days just to hang out some more.
I look forward to visiting again. Erika's home will definitely be my home away from home in Brooklyn.
I could not recommend this lovely home more.
