Misha's place was supremely cozy, located on a quiet street of traditional Brooklyn brownstone apartments. It felt very tucked away from the bustle of the city, and it was the ideal place to breathe deep at the end of the day. I took many baths. I must have set the record for number of baths taken in one week stay. Jokes aside: I needed a serene and well-set-up place for my busy week in NY, and this was the perfect one. The proximity of Prospect Park made it a cinch to get in a daily run or long walk--literally, the most verdant patch of Brooklyn is one block away. Comfortable bed, excellent natural light, cool mugs, books, furniture: the whole deal. I felt lucky, daily, to be there. And Misha made sure I was well set up and that I could get into the building easily.
