When I read the reviews on here, I thought- “could it really be thaaaat good?” Now that I just spent a glorious week there, I can attest that it is indeed an outstanding place!
Hadiza is a breath of fresh air whose warmth really does welcome you in and makes you feel at home. She leaves you to your peace+serenity in your own private apartment with its own entry and all, and she’s quick to answer any questions you might have about places to go and such. She graciously welcomed me, without hesitation, to do some occasional stoop-sitting to observe the beautiful street before me and the quiet, diverse life that buzzed about, and I sincerely enjoyed chatting with her during a couple of my stoop-sitting sessions. What a tremendous woman!
And the apartment was just as it shows in the photos, but better. The bed was like sleeping on clouds; I really could have just stayed put in it for the entire week; but, I wanted to also enjoy local walks around the neighborhood (during which I met some interesting folks w/good conversation, enjoyed some delicious vegan grub, & got a mind-blowing massage- Hadiza can recommend great places to go for what you seek.). …The space is also just a quick hop, skip & a jump away from Manhattan, if that’s your thing (subway & Uber are super conveniently available).
I loved my time in this cozy space & can’t wait to go back. Given that life is precious, I’m surely grateful I got to spend a week of mine at this home away from home.
Gratefully, Debbie
