This was our first airbnb booking on daughter's advice. We are a couple in our early 50s who decided on New York as the destination for a last family getaway with our daughter and sons (28, 24 & 21). The apartments were as described in the listing and the photos accurate, clean, comfortable, spacious, secure and in very good condition with well equipped kitchens although we ate all our meals out. We had 2 apartments as we needed 4 bedrooms, each apartment has 3 bedrooms, each with a comfortable king size bed. There was plenty of room for us all to chill in one apartment when we got back in the evenings - lovely big comfy sofa. Every bedroom had TV as well as in each living room. Plenty of electrical sockets and hi-speed wifi worked well - we had up to 7-8 connections at any time with no problem. Bathrooms clean with nice towels and selection of toiletries if required. The neighbourhood was fine having previously stayed in Manhattan we wanted to stay in a 'real' neighbourhood and we didn't have any problems day or night found this to be an up and coming area with clean, quiet streets. School and park opposite and police station round corner. Felt safe walking at night with my daughter as well as when all 5 of us were out, my sons were also comfortable out together in the evenings. Found some very pleasant restaurants nearby with very good food, attentive service and cheaper than in the city! Approx 5 minute walk to the J/Z subway or slightly longer walk, but nice brunch places on the way, via Patchen Avenue to the A/C subway making it easy to get into any location into the city, including Coney Island which was fun. The latest we came back by subway was 12.30ish with no problems. On road parking right outside if required. Quite a few supermarkets, shops, off-licence and delis nearby. We did not meet Brendan but he dealt with queries efficiently through email or text. We were able to leave our luggage past the check out time which was great as we had late flight home and that meant we could spend another day shopping in Manhattan. All of us had a great time in New York and in particular in Brooklyn and would definitely recommend Brendan's apartment - great value, shame we couldn't stay for longer, we would stay here again.
