I had such a wonderful time here! Lorraine is so kind and a lovely host, and I met her neighbour Gail who’s so nice too. I really enjoyed wine on the stoop together and meeting the neighbours and their dogs!
This neighbourhood is an ideal place to stay for exploring NewYork. Feels really safe. Just a 20 minute walk/10 minute cycle to the ferry, then in 10 minutes you’re in Manhattan! Or there’s the BART too. But I’m a ferry girl. Lots of citibikes around for taking lovely cycles.
I’d recommend taking a little tram-trip up to Hoboken which is a great place!
And the loft space has to be seen to be believed. It’s huge! Such a luxury. The house itself is remarkable, like an artsy artefact museum-style. I loved it.
As Lorraine says, you will be up and down the stairs a lot. This was useful for me as I ate a lot of pancakes at the Brownstone Diner nearby (which I completely fell in love with!).
Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.
