Bird's Nest

Bird's Nest: New York

This Brooklyn home is certainly one of the most unique in our collection. From the industrial bones to the live aquariums and the vintage mannequins and collectibles, everything about this lofted space speaks for itself. Not for the minimalist at heart, this home guarantees to be a one-of-a-kind experience that still caters to total comfort, with a plush sofa, sumptuous bed and outfitted kitchen. We especially love the fish tanks that your host so lovingly tends to – the neon colors add excitement and beauty to even the quietest of nights in. Right outside your doorstep, you’ll find the bustle of East Williamsburg. You’re just a five-minute walk from the lauded pizza restaurant Roberta’s and near plenty of excellent thrift shops, delicious cafes and lively bars. Walk around and admire the street art, new pop-ups and people-watching. Or, to reach Manhattan, simply jump on the train for ten minutes and explore a whole new borough.

Home truths:
*Even though this home is in Brooklyn, it takes less than twenty minutes (door to door) to get into Lower Manhattan
*At full occupancy, guests three and four will sleep on a sofa bed in the communal area
*The buzzer wasn't working when we tested the home – you may have to rely on texting and calling to open the door for guests
*The bed is a few steps up (may be worth noting for those with limited mobility)
