I feel like it was a gift from above when I found Sara's place on Airbnb. First of all, the location was 1 block from my daughter's place - she just had a baby (her first) and I wanted to be nearby for an extended stay. Well, Sara's place was perfect, well furnished, airy, lots of natural light, and right down the street from a very nice and active park. The neighborhood had bodegas, coffee bars, wine stores, laundry, delicious options for takeout and a new grocery store just up the street. Everything was in easy walking distance. Plus, sitting on the front steps in the afternoon, sometimes to listen to her daughter and fellow students practice their music on the patio or to watch the parade of neighbors, was both entertaining and relaxing. The best Brooklyn experience I could have hoped for. I recommend her place (somewhat relunctantly, only because I want to return soon)!
I'd also like to note that this stay was for 3 weeks during the pandemic, and I felt very safe in what Sara provided for C19 prevention as well as seeing so many people on the street wearing masks and practicing #safesix.
