Pierce's apartment is honestly, everything you could hope for in an Airbnb. It's easy to find, close to public transport, in the best neighbourhood, quiet, clean and with all the amenities one could need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. We chose to elope in NY over Christmas and after all the craziness of sorting out our licence, ceremony, being tourists in NY at the most wonderful time of the year... it was a tonic to come back to the quiet and cozy apartment and unwind!
It was also a perfect base for me as the bride to sort out my hair/makeup on the day with nice natural light, heating for warmth (you won't need it as it is warm already) and all the amenities needed to ensure we had the smoothest running day.
Pierce is very communicative and helpful, he also very kindly allowed us to check in earlier so the process to check in was made easy for us, he made us feel very welcome in his home, there were nice touches such as snacks, candy and coffee, OJ, milk at hand, great for when you've had a long flight and you forget to go to the grocery store for essentials! Pierce also gave us lots of local tips for negotiating the city & places to explore, which we did.
Cobble Hill is the best, we actually spent more time there rather than Manhattan, so many good restaurants and local businesses to visit and the vibe is great, a nice local community who made us all feel welcome and part of it, instead of the tourists that we were! I cannot recommend Pierce's apartment enough, we will certainly return to explore the city more and when we do, we would like to stay here again, thanks Pierce! :-)
