I had the most phenomenal stay with Lisa and Atlas in their beautiful loft! Lisa was so welcoming and kind and it was very easy to make myself feel at home. Her place is close to several subway lines to Manhattan but I quickly learned I was happiest just staying in Brooklyn where you have everything you can need. A good supermarket/grocer is one block away, restaurants and bars are nearby, plus two great cinemas in Williamsburg if that’s your thing. I had everything I needed and more (already missing my cuddles with Atlas!) and I really recommend staying at Lisa’s place if you’re looking for a real Brooklyn experience.
