My husband and I stayed at Marisa and Colin's place for one month while we were looking for a rental apartment in the city. Their home has a lot of character, is cozy and has everything you need to make you feel comfortable.
Unfortunately, we were not able to use its gorgeous backyard because of the tough winter in New York this year. It's worth it to spend some time there for sure!
Marisa is the perfect host. The heating system had a small breakdown and her responsiveness was amazing. She even bought extra heaters and made someone to bring them while the issue was fixed. She was permanently reachable, which it gives you confidence.
Moreover, she is very friendly, always ready to offer you an useful recommendation about the city from the distance. She really cares about their guests and our whole experience was great.
The townhouse is located close to Downtown Brooklyn and Dumbo, only two train stops away from Union Square. However, the distance to the nearest train station is 15 minutes walking. If you don't mind to walk a little bit or take a cab at night, it is simply perfect!
