We have been using Airbnb for 10 years and Guy’s place is now a stand out favourite of ours.
Firstly, the location. We love everything about this neighbourhood. The proximity to Prospect Park for a morning run, the bars, restaurants and shops BUT in all our years of staying in Park Slope we have never been so close to the subway. It’s only a few steps away from the apartment to the R, F & G trains making access to Manhattan, Williamsburg and Queens super easy. Despite this there was zero street noise inside- we couldn’t believe how quiet it was.
The apartment itself is exactly as you see on the photos. A great sized, self contained studio with a comfortable bed, seating area, desk and chair, reliable wifi and a small ‘kitchenette’ set up with kettle, fridge and microwave. On a longer stay we appreciated access to the washer and dryer enabling us to leave with fresh clothes for the next leg of our journey. The shower room is small but very well designed and there were several shelves available to store our toiletries on within easy reach of the sink. Unlike a small New York hotel room where you are forced to live out of a suitcase, it was great that we were able to fully unpack (loads of hanging space) and it felt like a complete home from home.
We didn’t meet Guy but could tell from all the little touches in the apartment that he is a very thorough and thoughtful person. A great host who lives in the building and is on hand to answer questions.
We hope we get to stay here again on our next visit to New York. Thanks again for a great stay!
