My husband and I used to live in a very similar area in Brooklyn so we’re used to the warehouses, the smell of paint, etc. Totally appreciated and understood why Melissa was super thorough at explaining what the area was like. If you are used to cookie cutter suburbs and want cookie cutter suburbs then don’t book this. If you are down for adventure and character, definitely book! Check in was super easy, the loft was beautiful and we were able to get around on the bus. Later at night service gets unreliable so Uber/Lyft is the common sense choice. Pip Pap the cat was a very sweet and cuddly host. Really awesome experience and we didn’t even actually get to meet Melissa. Look forward to staying there again.
