Neighborhood Overview: The neighborhood is safe, diverse, and full of culture. It is getting more vibrant than ever, yet still remaining relatively calm. You get a very genuine everyday-life-in-New-York feeling, which I think is awesome. However, if you are not comfortable being around people of other races and cultures, you might not get to enjoy what this great neighborhood has to offer. With in a few blocks there are many really cute cafe, restaurants and bars. Bedford avenue is kind of the main stretch, where you will find some really great spots. Essentials like laundromat, supermarket, 24 hr deli are also very near by. Please see my guidebook for local favorites.
Notes: I welcome mellow, easygoing guests who are looking for a genuine apartment share experience. All guests are considered housemates. Also, please do not request this room for someone else's behalf. The apartment is kept as calm as possible. Please do not dominate the common spaces, and please keep social activities outside the apartment. If you've read up to this point, please tell me what kind of doughnut flavors you like :)
Transit: With the A/C,G trains all within a few blocks, you can get to most places very easily and quickly. The A line is 4 stops away from downtown Manhattan, and it takes you to Tribeca, Greenwich Village, Meatpacking District, Chelsea and Time Square all in under 30 min. The G line takes you the ultra hip Williamsburg in 10-15 minutes. From our apartment it takes 8 minutes to walk to the A/C subway, and 5 minutes to walk to the G subway. There are also many buses. I would of course be very happy to tell you more in detail once you are here.
Access: You will get your own key to the apartment, so you can come and go as you wish. You have access to the entire apartment except for the other bedrooms.
Interaction: I would love to give you an apartment tour, and answer all your questions during check-in. After that I will also be available if you ever need me. If we are both available, it would certainly be my pleasure to connect over a drink or a meal. I love meeting people, and I would love to help you get acquainted with the city. This apartment dedicated to longer-term guests with regular routines (e.g. employment, internship, school, etc.) You'll get to meet 3 other housemates who are young professionals from various cultures and backgrounds.
House Rules: No shoes in the apartment Thoroughly tidy up after yourselves, and leave no traces behind No additional guest(s) without my knowledge Keep activities minimum in the common space, and be mindful of others who might not want to be disturbed Turn off appliances before leaving the apartment Be kind and respectful to one another

Reviewer: Loic
Comments: I stayed a bit more than two weeks at Olivier's place and it was perfect. The apartment is really nice and new, very quiet and with a lot of light, which is really pleasant. The room is very comfortable and perfect to relax. Olivier was really kind and he made sure I had everything I needed. There's a lot to do in the neighborhood and it's an easy walk to the A express subway to manhattan. I clearly recommend this room !

Reviewer: Andrew
Comments: Olivier was a great host. I stayed in his room for the summer during my internship in NYC. Olivier and the roommates were always happy to help if I had any questions about the neighborhood, food, getting around etc. The place itself is great - the room is large by NYC standards and has a good sized bed. It was new and clean, with good water pressure in the bathrooms and a good kitchen for cooking. I would highly recommend if you plan on staying in Bed-Stuy!

Reviewer: Laura
Comments: I stayed at Olivier’s home with a friend for a few days during our holidays in NYC. The apartment is very nice, modern, equipped with every comfort, easy to reach with the subway. We stayed in Olivier’s room and it’s perfect for two people: spacious and very bright. Olivier is a good host, a kind person, whenever we had a question he responded very quickly. Also his housemates are very available. A nice place to discover Bed-Stuvy and the Big Apple!

Reviewer: Mats
Comments: Oliver var en mycket bra värd, absolut ingenting att klaga på... Hjälpsam och vänlig vid de frågor som jag hade. Rummet var lagom stort och helt ok. Dubbelsäng med sidobord, spegel och sittplats (där man kunde sitta och kolla sina mail (fritt Wi fii ingick). Tillgång även till fräscht vardagsrum med kombinerat kök och stort kylskåp (som delades med en till hyresgäst + Oliver). Området var rätt tyst och inte speciellt mycket trafik utanför... Området kändes även hyfsat tryggt och endast 4 blocks upp till Tunnelbanan, där du ganska snabbt tog dig till Manhattan...

Reviewer: Florian
Comments: The appartement of Olivier keeps all his promises! It is so comftabel, clean and Olivier is not just a host. You just feel like a homemade staying with him. He just wants you to feel good during your stay. Hugo is a quit and beatiful dog too! I'm not into dogs, but this little cuty makes you feel good :-) This 7 days in New York I will never forget.

Reviewer: Rachael
Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Olivier's home! The apartment is beautiful and clean with a very welcoming feel. Olivier gave us great recommendations on breakfast spots in the neighborhood as well as advice on which metro card option would be best for our stay in the city. The apartment is conveniently located to a couple of subway stations, and the Bed-Stuy neighborhood is now one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. Highly recommend staying here!

Reviewer: Lénaïg
Comments: Olivier nous a bien accueilli, son chien est délicieusement doux et adore se faire caresser. L'appartement comporte 4 chambres, un séjour, 2wc et une seule salle de bain. Lors de mon séjour avec mon copain, les autres chambres étaient aussi occupés et j'avoue que du coup l'espace commun était un peu juste ainsi que l'accès à la salle de bain matin et soir. La climatisation est efficace mais il nous a été difficile de dormir avec à cause du bruit. Les accès au métro (Lignes A, C et G) se font bien à pieds (5 à 10min de marche). Olivier was a nice host. His lovely dog was very smooth. The flat was clean but a little too small to welcome 6 people in 4 bedrooms. There are 2 toilets but only 1 bathroom and bathroom turnover was not thus that fluent. The AC was efficient but too loud for us to sleep with. Metro stations are 5 to 10 mins walk (line A, C and G).

Comments: Olivier est un hôte accueillant. L'appartement est charmant. La chambre semble un peu plus petite que sur les photos et la clim fait un peu de bruit.

Reviewer: Allegra
Comments: Non ho mai visto Oliver ma prima del mio arrivo abbiamo parlato al telefono,per spiegarmi le dinamiche della casa. La camera e la stanza in comune riflettono le foto. La location è vicinissima alla fermata del bus ed ha due metro vicine. Se ti piace Brooklyn il quartiere è perfetto!!

Reviewer: Kyle
Comments: Sadly I didn't get to meet Olivier as he was out of the country but the place was great. Really clean & Tidy, it was exactly as you see in the photographs & the description. I talked to Olivier before getting there and he was very friendly. All messages/communications were great, passcodes, keys etc were all simply explained in an email. The locations is good, pretty close to subways and a nice neighbourhood with shops & restaurants within just a few blocks.

Reviewer: Dev
Comments: Booked online for a 30+ day visit. Friendly reception on arrival. The room was of generous size, furnished and clean. Good neighbourhood and close to A,C and G train lines. Useful supermarket a few doors away and lots of good places to eat nearby. Met some really nice house mates during my stay too. All up 5/5 stars.

Really as it is described in the announce. The room was clean and confortable, with clean sheets and towel. We also appreciated all the advices about the cool place to see in the neighbourhood.

Reviewer: Jd
Comments: Very accurate listing. Super nice place and very affordable for Brooklyn. Olivier's recommendations directed me to some great spots in the area and it was easy to get in and out of Manhattan for work. Olivier let me check in early, checked in on me during my stay to make sure I had everything I needed and even helped me with a towel when I realized I'd forgotten one.

Reviewer: Angela
Comments: I stayed at Olivier's for one week and it was great! The place is just like the photos - very comfortable and clean. I didn't have a chance to meet Olivier in person but he was communicative the whole time and left me detailed instructions for check-in. Having the G and A/C trains nearby was super convenient and it only takes about 30mins to get into the city. The neighborhood itself doesn't feel super gentrified and it was nice just walking around to get a sense of real Brooklyn. There's also a lot of cool restaurants that are walking distance! I would definitely love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone :)

Reviewer: Tomas
Comments: Olivier was very attentive all the time and although he don´t live in the apt, he is always present when you need. The neighborhood is great, near subway stations, with many groceries and coffe shop nearby. The apt is clean, quite, cozi and bright. I enjoyed a lot staying there this week.

Reviewer: Elise
Comments: This is my first airbnb experience and my first visit to the US! I had a great time at Olivier's place. The other housemates were very friendly and everyone was quiet at night! I slept very good. There's a nice supermarket nearby so that's great if you want to buy groceries. It's also good commute to Manhattan with the A-train. Communications with Olivier was good, he helped me with Uber when I left because I've never tried that app before! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that! Also his dog Hugo is very cute!! ^^ I had a great stay!
-
Reviewer: Lilli
Comments: The place is super spacious by New York standards lots of light in the apartment, Olivier was a great host and helped me out when I realised I didn't have a towel which was super nice of him. The walk to both subways is kind of far if you have a lot of stuff with you or are in heels! Overall the place is exactly what I needed and Olivier was a very friendly attentive host.

Reviewer: Richard
Comments: I really enjoyed my time at Olivier's. The apartment was clean and tidy which made it a joy to spend time there and the place had everything I needed for my 2 weeks stay. Olivier was really nice and super quick on communication and he was always on hand to help in any way he could. I would highly recommend staying at Olivier's apartment to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Reviewer: Julia
Comments: Oliver has been an exemplary host. He has been very attentive to make my stay comfortable as much as possible. The location of the apartment is very convenient to explore the city and surroundings on foot. I have NO complaints regarding this place and its owner. I wish I could have stayed longer. I will absolutely recommend Oliver to any of my friends that go to NYC in the future. Thank you.

Reviewer: Jorge
Comments: Olivier was nothing but a fantastic host. He was transparent with all the details and house rules upfront and effectively communicated all the other move in nuances. Additionally, after I made the decision to cut my stay short, he adjusted my length of stay and reimbursed me for the time I didn't end up living in. He made the transaction seamless, and without a hassle. Would highly recommend Olivier as a host and his place as a home.

Reviewer: Grant
Comments: I've enjoyed and definitely recommend staying at Olivier's home. It is very stylish and has most of the amenities you need other than a washer and dryer, but there is literally a laundromat right around the corner. Olivier's home is also near the subway and fun hipster bars and cafes. He was very responsive and accommodating, and also has the cutest dog. Thanks for letting me stay at your home Olivier!
