Undoubtedly the most enjoyable Airbnb experience I have had so far, for myriad reasons:
- The place is exceptionally beautiful and clean. Very tasteful aesthetic with a lot of space; very modern amenities (especially for NYC, where even many very nice places don't have them - central air, full size fridge, washer/dryer in unit, elevator, etc.); natural light; tall windows and ceilings; everything one could hope for.
- Location is superb. To anyone not from NYC (I lived in Manhattan for years before moving away), proximity to the L train is a luxury for quick access to Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn. Williamsburg is one of, if not my favorite neighborhoods in the city, and the relatively dense-yet-convenient geographical layout provides access to everything you could possibly need in just a few minute walk, something that many other neighborhoods, even in a city like New York, can't provide.
- Atay is an incredibly generous and very communicative host, treating guests with trust and respect. He went above and beyond, even ordering a replacement pedal for the keyboard for next day delivery, knowing that I was a pianist.
I'm not one for hyperbole, so trust me when I say that I could not imagine having a better Airbnb experience. I will be moving back to NYC in the future, but until then this will always be the first place I check for availability when I'm visiting.
