As our first experience of Air BNB the Majar really left us feeling it was the best way to get a place to stay adding that extra twist to our travels. We had communicated prior to arrival with Majar always being prompt and responding to our questions and requests. When we arrived Majar was there with some of his family to welcome us. the home looked very traditional brownstone building with a space at the front which you could sit in. Major shared he had contacted me the previous evening as he had thought I was arriving the night before and had stayed up... he later shared he had miss read the reservation.
We were shown a room with a big wooden bed, lots space in cupboard for hanging cloths and chest of draws for our cloths. There was a fridge for our personal use, and some leaflets and information on Brooklyn and NY which were helpful. We also were shown the kitchen which we could use.
The Major then went away but his family were friendly and if we had needed help we felt able to ask them.
My husband was not able to access the internet for some reason BUT my phone did as this was not a real problem we did not ask raise this but i feel sure we would have had help to rectify it.
While the Major was away we communicated about returning after a brief trip out of Brooklyn but we were unable to book at this short notice which is totally understandable. The accommodation is very good value.
We travelled to and from the J train most nights and were greeted warmly by those sitting out which appeared to be quite common.. I felt ok walking about this area and we were a short ride to Manhattan.
This is great value for money....
