My husband and I stayed here for 9 days in December 2013. It snowed twice whilst we were there and not once inside the apartment did we feel the cold. This Place is amazing and warm. So much space, so clean and so comfortable. Michelle is so accommodating and I even got to meet Arthur which was a lovely surprise (if you are lucky enough to meet him tell him I said hi!). The neighborhood is very Brooklyn and feeling safe was never an issue, in fact a even got some tips from the neighbors about walking in the slippery snow. Just 2 blocks from the A/C train which is just a quick subway ride to Manhattan.
Quick tip there is an awesome little bar that just opened walking distance from the apartment that is a must (we found it on our last night and wish we had of known it was so close night 1) it's called "Sip" and it's on Putnam Ave. Overall this stay was one of the best airbnb experiences of our trip and if you are contemplating staying here ... Seriously look no further! Thanks Michelle for having us in your beautiful apartment.
Ps the art and the hot tub are a hit!!!
