First off, Raymond (the owner of the AirBNB) was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process.
NYC is so busy and so expensive, so we looked into Brooklyn for our family of 5 to stay. This place turned out to be perfect on so many levels. Being from Texas, we had heard war stories about how unsafe Brooklyn was. Never for a moment did we feel unsafe in this neighborhood.
It was a short walk to the subway station, and very easy to get around. We got to know the subway very well and never did we have any issues walking to or from the AirBNB.
The place was comfortable and quiet (except for the obvious street noise which you could expect anywhere in NYC).
Right around the corner is a little deli name "Kats" with a super friendly employee named Brian. My three boys loved him b/c he was always greeting them with questions about what we did and recommendations on places to go. The deli had all the little knick-knacks you might have forgotten at home, plus great food.
In the AirBNB, there were plenty of towels and other amenities. The washer/dryer came in handy, too.
We would definitely stay there again!!
