Shahram was a fantastic host. I was working in NYC for an extended period and we stayed at Shahram's apartment when my family came to visit. He met my wife and children and showed them around, as I was at work. The welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch. The apartment was fantastic, comfortable yet stylish. The sofa bed in the office area was great for the kids. It was our first Air BnB and couldn't have worked out better, so much easier and nicer than using a hotel. The apartment has everything you need, wifi, Netflix, Apple TV, very hi tech washing machine and tumble dryer.
Vinegar Hill is a really cool neighbourhood only 2 minutes walk from DUMBO, but quiet and away from all the tourists. Close to High Street Metro (5 minute walk) on the A and C line which takes you into Manhattan or a nice walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. So much better than actually staying in Manhattan. All communication with Shahram was excellent and he really made you feel that nothing was too much trouble. If we ever need a place in NYC again we will try and book this apartment again.
