My wife and I came to New York for a friend’s wedding and found this studio was available in Brooklyn, nearby the wedding reception.
Bryan and Luiza did a wonderful job converting this studio into a cozy, quiet place to rest after a long day of being out in the city. The place is exactly as advertised with a comfortable queen-sized bed, microwave, mini fridge, TV connected to Roku, coffee maker, electric kettle, and a large comfy couch. There is a closet/hallway between the main room and bathroom that provides sufficient space for hanging your clothes and storing your luggage, as well as a laundry room complete with washer and dryer. The bathroom was very clean and offers plenty of storage for your toiletries. The shower has great pressure and plenty of hot water and was a good height (I’m 6’ 1” and didn’t have to crouch down under it). The whole place was extremely clean and Bryan and Luiza provide just about everything you need for your stay from soap, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower to laundry detergent to complimentary water and coffee.
The studio does have an A/C unit that can cool or heat to your desired temperature and it works very well.
Being in New York, my wife and I were concerned with safety, but those worries quickly subsided when we got to the studio. It’s located in a quiet area nearby a few schools and at the outskirts of the neighboring Jewish community, where we saw multiple small groups of children walking around on their own. It’s also worth noting we also felt extremely safe that there are multiple doors between you and the outside, when in the Studio (all of which can be locked) and the entrance to the Studio is out of sight from the street.
As noted in the listing and by other reviews, you are a quick walk away from the G-line train. From the studio, you can get to the Brooklyn Bridge (Dumbo-area) in under 30 minutes, you can also get up to lower/mid Manhattan in about 40 minutes.
Finally, Bryan and Luiza were wonderful hosts! They offered an easy self-check in process, and they were very kind to offer holding our bags before check-in since we arrived early in the morning and check-in wasn’t until 3pm. They provided great suggestions on things to do and places to eat nearby, as well as a place for us to de-wrinkle our wedding-wear after we arrived to the city. Check-out was a breeze as well!
We absolutely loved this Airbnb (and the hosts) and would definitely stay again the next time we are in New York!
P.S. We would highly recommend ordering in or going to eat at Rosie’s Pizza Bar.
