Gayla’s garden apartment is a lovely space in her brownstone that is clearly cared for with love and attention to detail. From the molding and hardware to the drapes and gorgeous orchids throughout the apartment, Gayla’s home is well curated and impeccably tasteful. We enjoyed the location a lot, we found neighbors to be incredibly friendly, we explored local spots on meandering walks, and popped into the city. Love Saraghina for the bakery and restaurant -Brunch and dinner there are great.
My only nit picky reservation is that the space, though private and with its own entrance, is open to the rest of the house (blockaded but still open) so if noise is of concern - ie your kid cries in the night - it might be relevant. I know it’s nyc so any apt with paper thin walls would have this issue but just calling it out. Other than that, Gayla was very sweet and responsive and I expect we’ll stay again.
