This was our first experience with Airbnb and visit to New York. Friends recommended staying in Brooklyn because it's much quieter and affordable than Manhattan. We selected this place to stay after reading the reviews. Monifa and Saint were great hosts! They accommodated all of our needs including storing our luggage until check in (we arrived early.) Monifa greeted us and made us feel very welcome. We had 2 sets of keys for our use. Their place is half a block from the best made to order crepes at Le Paris Dakar (a must try), a health food grocery store, and places to eat. We used the subway mostly (Uber to/from the airport) at Nostrand/Fulton station and it's very close - we recommend using the C line over the A line (it appeared newer, cleaner and ran more often.) You can purchase a pass there.
Their brownstone was very clean and spacious with extra amenities. We slept comfortably and our place was quiet. Anytime we had a question, they responded very quickly by text or via the message center on Airbnb and were gracious.
We enjoyed our stay!
