We stayed at Gian Franco's for three months while we were between apartments and really enjoyed our stay. The home is located on a quiet street in a neighborhood of single family and duplex homes. It was convenient to my daughter's school on the Lower East Side and for me to get to work in the city. Our stay included Thanksgiving and Christmas and the open kitchen/dining/living room space was perfect for a small gathering of family members. We also had our cat with us and she loved looking out the windows at birds and squirrels in the yard. We are a local Brooklyn family - if you're visiting from out of town, Bushwick is a nice place for an extended stay, convenient to Williamsburg restaurants by UBER, and during the week, it's a quick ride to lower Manhattan on the express train.
