We hardly know where to begin in reviewing Julian and Michelle's beautiful airbnb home! That is because it and they went beyond what we could have imagined or hoped for in an airbnb stay.
Regarding the space, it is even more lovely than what you see in the photos.
It is spacious, bright, comfortable, and very well-equipped with great quality furniture and appliances.
There is all you need for cooking , the kitchen sink is equipped with a tap at the sink of filtered water, environmentally friendly dish soaps, which our family really appreciated as we are environmentally vigilant in our own home.
The bathroom on the main floor is fabulous, spacious with its double sink, terrific bathtub, big shower, organic soaps! It was such a treat.
The downstairs bathroom has a shower and it was very convenient for our family to have access to two different bathrooms.
The basement area is comfortable, it even has blow-up mattresses which we did not use, but will if we ever return with the rest of our family!
The washer/dryer work great. The beds are extremely comfortable; the outdoor space is private and beautiful. This place really is a Brooklyn oasis!
Our family was traveling with 4 adults and a 15 month old baby.
There was a comfy pack-n-play for the baby, a highchair, even a baby towel and organic baby soap! Julian checked with us ahead of time if we wanted him to install a baby gate. Once again, a generous offer; we accepted and he installed such a sturdy gate that was easy for adults to open and close but impossible for Baby to get by. It was reassuring to have it. Julian was very sensitive to the fact that we were traveling with a baby!
As we were arriving around 7pm Julian checked in with us to see if we wanted him to pick up milk or anything else for the morning; these kinds of thoughtful, personal attentions continued throughout our stay. We were all actually very touched by his generosity and by his kindness. He went over and above.
His communication was clear and prompt, he made himself very available and at the same time he was completely respectful of our privacy.
We crossed paths outdoors with his two lovely children a couple of times and they were unsurprisingly just as warm, friendly and respectful as their parents!
The guest book is thorough and helps to orient to the neighborhood shops, transportation etc.
The neighborhood itself is extremely friendly; folks look you right in the eye and say a warm hello on the street; we felt like we were a part of the neighborhood during our stay there.
We clearly highly recommend Julian's airbnb and we hope to return there one day.
