Chris and Jitsu (cutest shiba you’ll meet !) have been wonderful hosts, and our experience is one of the best we had through Airbnbs.
Finding parking was a little challenging a Thursday afternoon but definitely not impossible. It is free and depending on which street you park, there is a chance you can leave your car for about 7 days straight, so once you find your spot, you’re all set for the whole duration of your stay !
Since we were not familiar with parking in Brooklyn, Chris even offered to have a look to make sure our spot was fine.
The appartement was the very easy to find and the elevator in the building made it convenient to reach the 3rd floor with heavy luggages.
Chris greeted us warmly, offered us refreshments and showed us our room. It was very spacious, sparkling clean (like every inches of the apartment 🙌) and well furnished with drawers and closet for clothes, many books and games, a large desk as well as a very comfortable bed.
We enjoyed a detailed tour of the apartment so we know where is everything we might need for the next couple days.
The kitchen was very well organized and you can use it to cook. As a side note, Chris has the most amazing collection of spices I have ever seen ! In the morning, you can make coffee and tea.
The living room is spacious, where you can watch TV, read or listen to music.
The bathroom is sparking clean and close to the bedroom so it is easy to access it and you don’t need to travel across the apartment in case you need it in the middle of the night.
We stayed for 3 nights and ended up sleeping very well the window open (and that’s to say, I am usually a light sleeper). The neighborhood tends to get pretty quiet from 11pm to 8am so you’ll get good night’s sleep alright.
The apartment is located about 1 minute walk away from the Manhattan bound subway entrance, which makes you reach the City in less than 20 minutes.
Chris offer to use passes for 2 to museums (listed in the description) which will definitely make you save about $250 !
We haven’t enjoyed those this time, but that’s definitely something to point out as a “great value bonus” of the place.
To sum it up (if you’re not convinced yet), you must book Chris place without thinking twice ! 🔥
