The appartment is in a nice part if Brooklyn, central and accessible but not too busy or noisy. Lots if good places to eat nearby. Complimentary breakfast throughout our stay is definitely a plus, and we enjoyed access to the backyard - which made for some nice relaxing mornings.
The drawbacks were mainly that the appartment had more apparent signs of wear than comes across in the pictures; that the AC in the bedroom was really noisy. Also important to us was that the washer and dryer for the whole house was located in the basement appartment we rented, which the rest of the house had access to. This significantly reduced our privacy from other guests. Some of the reason for this might be that Laurie was not at home for almost out entire stay, and we never actually met her. We did not know she would be away until just before we arrived. We were not informed either that there would be other guests staying in her house as well. However, Laurie had help from a lovely young couple tending to her guests while she was away, who took great care of us. They were friendly and sweet and helpful, but we cannot say anything about our hosts since we never met her.
Its one of the most importen benefits when you rent by Airbnb , that the host is home and can be at assistans and give necessary advice.
We had some information in writings, but is is not good enough.
