This is what Airbnb is all about. Nice people opening their homes and sharing their favorite local spots with travelers. I haven’t been to an Airbnb like this in years and it was nice to feel the welcome of a local family who clearly have deep roots in their home and ‘hood rather than receiving the door code to an impersonal property via an absent property management company. Was it a five star hotel? No. If that’s what you’re looking for I recommend you stay in a five star hotel. This was a private area in their welcoming home in a great Brooklyn neighborhood with the added benefit of the knowledge of some very friendly locals who live right upstairs! Great spot for kids and families, perfect for our family of four with two young kids. They were very communicative and helpful hosts. We enjoyed walking around the area, checking out parks and restaurants, and having a drink on their beautiful patio. We hope to come back again some day to see even more of the area. Thanks Debra and Paul for a very nice stay!
