Staying a week in David and Janet's container house has been an experience - a great one. The structure itself is alone worth the trip, a consistent fraction of the fun is to find out all the hacks and inventions that transform a pile of huge metal boxes in a perfectly functional housing. And it is amazing how much effort they put in finding out new ways to make it even more self-sustaining and environment-friendly. Our stay has been very comfortable: the apartment is much larger than probably most people imagine a container to be; it's equipped with all that's needed in a holiday house (kitchenette, hair dryer, TV, and a bookshelf literally full of treasures); it's warm even with the rigid New York wind blowing outside - which is most appreciated after a day of walking.

David and Janet have been great and caring hosts, and provided us with everything we needed, both in the apartment and in terms of infos, suggestions, practical tips.

The neighborhood is nice, lively though quiet, easy-going, and full of interesting places (shops, restaurants...). The location is perfect, being almost mid-way between two subway stations connecting you to mid town Manhattan or Brooklyn in some ten minutes.
