Our stay with John and Ainslie (and Ian) was our first AirBnB experience so we didn't quite know what to expect but we had a very pleasant experience and enjoyed our stay.
The room was as advertised and there was plenty of space for the two of us. We had a nearby bathroom which we had exclusive use of. The house was comfortable and tidy.
The neighbourhood is very vibrant with plenty of food choices of all different cuisines. Our favourites were the Mexican restaurant and the pizza place. There were always a lot of people out and about and we felt safe walking around. The house is a short walking distance (5-10 minutes) to the subway and you can also walk to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and Brooklyn museum easily. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes on the subway into Manhattan and was an easy commute every day to see what New York had to offer.
Ainslie, John and Ian were friendly and helpful with directions. They were happy to chat but also happy to leave us to do our own thing. They also have two beautiful cats who love to visit the bedroom. We would definitely recommend staying with them!
