Gaby was at the front door ready to greet us upon our arrival. Gaby showed us around her lovely apt and provided us with a quick guide that she created to include all pertinent info, subway app, wifi password, local shopping and dining, etc. The apt looks just as pictured. The beds were comfortable and exceeded my expectations. We arrived on a delayed flight so we were so grateful to have the frige stocked with food and drinks to get us by. At night the neighborhood is pretty quiet. The short walk to the subway can take a few days to adjust to just like anything new. From Saint Marks Avenue you walk to Ralph Street to get to the subway; this area can appear a little rough but as a group we always felt safe and never had any problems. If you wanna feel like a local this is definitely the right place to stay. Riding the subway to and from Manhattan each day was the big highlight of this vacation and most memorable! Gaby and Thomas were excellent hosts we had a great time and so glad we used the airbnb app. Thanks Gaby and Thomas!
