The place is just like you see it in the photos, with wonderful hosts like Gennady and Laura who are quick with communication, super helpful and incredibly accommodating. The sofa bed folds out like a double, easily allowing for two people to sleep on it, and the kitchen amenities like the stove top make it a plus. We came as a family of four choosing to trade in our typical manhattan hotel for an air bnb this time, and it was worth it. Neighbourhood was pretty safe if you decide to stay and then commute back late at night. I would mention that it’s in a safe and upscale part of town, but gets quiet after about ten p.m.
Harbourside is a decent 10-12 minute walk, with plenty of dining choices that are along the harbour line. There is a beach right across the street and definitely take advantage of the sand and sun if you come when the weather is pleasant.
Travelling to manhattan is best by taking bus route B1 to Brighton beach station, and then taking the Q or N lines to time square. It’s roughly a 45 minute - one hour commute each way, but incredibly accessible. There is a free parking spot, and access into and out of the apartment is quick.
Thanks for a wonderful stay! Would definitely consider rebooking.
