Martin’s place was a perfect oasis from the rustle & bustle of the city. My girlfriend and I stayed a weekend and felt right at home.
We drove from Upstate NY (around a 6 hour drive) and told Martin we would be arriving around 8-9 PM as we had to work the Friday of our check-in. I ended up getting caught up at work, which delayed us a bit to arriving around 10 PM. I am not sure if I missed this in the house Manuel / listing (I travel to Brooklyn through Airbnb often so this is 100% possible) but if you do check in passed 10 PM there will be a late check-in charge. We got lucky and arrived a little before 10 PM to avoid this.
We were wow-ed when we entered Martin’s place with the light fixtures (a great touch!) & spacious living room. Martin immediately greeted us upon arrival and gave us a quick tour of the place and let us know some basic rules.
The place is walking distance to many bars, corner stores, great places to eat & subway stations to get around. There’s also plenty of free parking in front of his place - we parked right in front of the door!
The room is exactly as listed. I love a little background noise while I sleep so the city sounds didn’t disturb us at all. The skylight was a nice way to wake up the first morning - the 2nd morning after a night of fun & drinking..let’s just say we wished it was a cloudier day!
This is a great place to stay for someone looking to stay near the city but away enough to not be apart of all the hectic-ness! It’s full of charm and you can tell Martin cares a lot for his home. I hope your future guests continue to treat it with respect!
Thank you for the hospitality, Martin :)
