This was our first time using Airbnb, and to be honest we were apprehensive about staying at someone's rental vs a hotel. We didn't know what to expect. Peter was great with keeping in contact as our arrival date approached. He even contacted me (a day before check-in) when he discovered that the TV had a minor defect and he was in the process of getting it replaced. Peter is an excellent host, with an easy going personality, he always made sure that we were doing well during our stay. Offered suggestions for restaurants to dine at and sites to visit. We would happily stay there again when we visit NYC in the future and we highly recommend him. The rental unit: We all loved the beds. Comfortable and firm. The girls LOVED the pillows, my daughter wanted to take one home. The pictures on the Airbnb site don't do this place justice. I meant to take photos to post or even give to Peter to post. The living space is huge, the large couch could use some company but it was more than what we needed. The open concept floor plan from the living space to the kitchen is great. SUPER clean, bright and new (well looks new to us). The bathroom was a little small, but again clean and functions exactly as needed. All the rooms (each bedroom and living space/kitchen) are equipped with window A/C units that worked and kept us comfortable during the evening and through the night as we slept. The rental unit is on the street level, easy access to the main front door, so transferring luggage is much easier than having to deal with any stairs or elevators. Street parking is available, but talk to Peter about possible driveway parking. About the TV, first it's massive, 60"+ or 75" I can't remember off hand, but it wasn't replaced during our stay, but it wasn't an issue, we still watched TV when our nights were winding down. The issue was truly minor in our eyes, besides we were there to see the city not watch TV in NYC. Location: Okay, I have to say that the rental is located in a mixed area of homes/apts and business units, so it's not scenic. Walking down or looking down the street(s) you can see the area is in the process of change/development. The reason we initially chose Peter's rental was because of it's close location to the subway station. Approximately a 5-10 minute walk. We left the car parked for majority of the week and took the subway into Manhattan/Times Square/Soho/Central Park, the longest it took us was 30 minutes to Central Park (I think). Restaurants in the area were about a 15 minute walk from the rental. We usually ordered food in after a long day of walking around the city and just wanted to relax. Again thank you to Peter for making our stay in Brooklyn and our first experience with Airbnb a great...
