This was our first airbnb experience- and we loved it!! Erika's place was so cute and charming- perfect for me and my husband. We stayed for 3 nights for our anniversary. We do not have a single complaint, really enjoyed staying here rather than in a hotel. The area was very cool. We went to a couple of local places. Check out Tom's restaurant! There was a little line around the building, but it moved fast, and was SO worth it! Food was delicious! So definitely take advantage of Erika's reccommendations she leaves in her welcome book. We navigated the subways perfectly (try Transit NYC phone app- it helped us SO much!), with the apt being just a couple of short blocks to the station. Very convenient! We felt extremely safe in the area and on the subways at all hours of the day/night. We would definitely stay at Erika's place again when returning to New York. So glad we chose to stay in Brooklyn for a different experience- we love Brooklyn now!
