Both Chris’ apartment and Cobble Hill are super cool!
Didn’t meet Chris in person, but he is very responsive in our communication. As he was away during our stay, he arranged Maria to greet us, so checked in was smooth.
Chris’s place is elegant yet homey. It is one of those homey apartments which makes you want to stay and laze around instead of exploring the town :) It is tastefully furnished and the interior is also very warm, decorated with many personal memorabilias and neat ornaments. Oh there are lots of cool magazines and books as well. Bed and couch are both comfortable, kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. Also like the lighting with dimmer that can really set cozy ambiance.
The location, Cobble Hill, is a cute laid-back neighborhood in Brooklyn with many cafes and bars, casual restaurants as well as independent shops and boutiques. Chris provides recommendations of the food around his neighborhood and yessss you should follow those. Going to Manhattan is also very easy, from the subway station only a block away you just need to jump onto F train that goes directly there. Or you can walk for a few minutes to the waterfront and hang out in the pier ejoying Manhattan cityscape.
All and all, we had a very nice year end holiday in NY, especially in Brooklyn and we really do recommend Chris’ place when you visit NY. It is a real hideaway in bustling NY. Chris, thanks so much for letting us stay at your place.
🙏🏼
