This studio and the host were one of the best my husband and I have encountered during our many years of traveling the world and staying at many, many Airbnbs the last few years. I would give 6 stars!
Location: for those of you not familiar with NYC or Brooklyn, this location is close enough to the A & C subway and B-52 bus line that you can easily get to Manhattan, JFK, or other major borough destinations (Atlantic City terminal is also a short walk). Plus, the neighborhood itself (Fort Greene) is one of the best. It is safe, beautiful, and has many lovely and delicious restaurants close by.
Design: the studio is simply yet beautifully decorated and furnished, plus it inherently has exposed brick walls and high ceilings with lots of natural light - we loved hanging out in the apartment and enjoyed the atmosphere. We appreciated the big king bed in the 'sleeping nook'! It is a very spacious studio, not cramped at all. The fresh flowers were a lovely and appreciated addition as well!
Cleanliness: Perfect! Everything was clean (dishes, couch, fridge, floors, shower), and we appreciated the soft sheets and towels.
Service/Communication: Sj was wonderful and communication was a breeze. We very much appreciated her flexibility with our check-in and check-out timing, as the airline, unfortunately, put us in a tough position last minute. Plus, she was lovely to speak with in person and we had a great conversation. She also made sure we had everything we needed in the kitchen for our stay, and touched base with us to make sure we were comfortable.
We highly recommend staying here!
