John and Stephanie were fantastic hosts. Their knowledge of New York City in general and Williamsburg, Brooklyn in particular is both comprehensive and accurate. The room was clean, organized and precisely as described.

As regards human decency--John and Stephanie are in the top1%. They epitomize what makes airbnb such a rich traveling experience. From the moment I entered their loft, I was treated like a long, lost friend. Indeed, within moments, we had already discovered that we shared many friends and acquaintances in common.

The best aspect of my stay was that John and Stephanie invited me to join them on such outings as Sunday Brunch and a progression of Halloween Parties. They even helped me throw together a credible costume.

But, John and Stephanie also knew when to leave me alone and how give me my space. I often went to the rooftop to enjoy the views. The location is amazing. If you like walking, the Williamsburg bridge is just a few blocks away and within 20 minutes you can be sippin' beers in an Alphabet City bar. Likewise, there are Citi Bike racks nearby that can deliver you to the lower east side in a matter of minutes.

Finally, if you are fortunate enough to stay in this loft, do yourself a favor and go to BIA--a Vietnamese "speakeasy" that serves great dumplings and big, steamy bowls of pho. Yes, it is true, I would stay here again. But, what is more true, is that I will book this specific airbnb listing for my next trip as soon as I know the dates of arrival and departure. Yes, the hosts, the loft and the private room are that good.
