I only wish I could have stayed longer! Ania’s space is clean and inviting, and she is super responsive to messages on Airbnb. For as compact as the apartment is, it has high ceilings and she has done a great job decorating it with plants and art/shelving high on the walls to give it a more spacious feel.
The bed was perfectly comfortable for me, on the firm side, and the bedding was clean and nice quality. I felt very cozy in the bedroom and appreciated that there was a little closet to hang things, though I only stayed one night so I did not use it.
Be aware that you need to keep the door to the bedroom shut because it opens directly in front of the door you use to enter and exit the apartment. Not a problem, but is something to be aware of.
I was very relieved that the apartment was on the first floor of the building directly at the end of the hallway — there are some stairs up to the main entrance of the building.
It’s close to the underground subway, and is about a 15min walk to Penn Station which is doable with a little luggage, at least for me.
If you stay, be sure to go to Brooklyn Bagel and Coffee Company on 8th Avenue!
