This was our first AirBnB stay, and it couldn't have been better! My two daughters and I spent a week here and enjoyed every minute of our trip.
The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures: bright, cheery, fun furnishings and very clean. We picked up the keys from the deli around the corner, where the cashiers were polite and friendly. A supermarket is conveniently located on the next block, and it's just a short walk to the L and M trains. Grab some tacos or tamales from the foods trucks outside the station; they're delicious!
We loved the neighborhood and its energy. People sit out on the stoops and talk at night, guys shoot hoops in the street, and merengue and bachata music spills out the windows. (That said, I never heard any street noise from inside the apartment, even with the windows open.) We came back late a couple of nights, and even though it was just me and my 14- and 10-year-old daughters we always felt safe.
Suzette is lovely! She is a good communicator and was very accommodating when we needed to stash our bags after checking out. I was happy to meet her and chat with her.
All in all, this was a great first experience. Good value, easy check-in & out, convenient and clean. I'd highly recommend it!
