Second to booking into one of NYC's most iconic hotels, the best way to authentically experience New York is in an uber-cool Airbnb (preferably one with skyline views). Not only that, but you'll also save a bit of cash by doing so, especially if you're looking to stay in Brooklyn, as homes on the other side of the East River are generally bigger and just a hop-skip away from all those top attractions the city that never sleeps has to offer.

So if you're after an awesome and unique place to stay in NYC, start with our list of the coolest Airbnb rentals in Brooklyn. From chic studios to artist lofts, we've picked out something to suit everyone. And we never fail to please.
