Ok- first off this was our first experience with Airbnb. It was by far a pleasant one and for many reasons a good choice on (my) part. :-)
Sophie and Kotaro were very helpful and welcoming. They also respect your privacy. Our Zen Gem room, the bathroom and all common areas were impressively immaculate. Everything was very secure too. And their added personal touch of snacks and beverages was a pleasant surprise. The location is safe, the shopping is a short walk away, the subway is a stone's throw away and the buses are nearby too! A short walk through Bay Ridge takes you to beautiful Shore Road and the Belt Parkway Bike/Walking promenade. Watch the weekend 4-5pm cruise ships depart under the magnificent Verrazano Narrow's Bridge. Or have a picnic in Owl's Head Park on 68th St. and Colonial Rd. Another nice thing about Bay Ridge is navigation; if you can count, you can get around! :-) Thank you Sophie and Kotaro, we cannot recommend your home enough! See ya next time! K&H
