My stay with Dana has made my visit to New York a million times better! It felt like home right from the start - and this feeling is absolutely precious and cannot be faked! The atmosphere of the apartment is so welcoming, cosy and so warm. I never thought that visiting another country and living in someone’s place can be so relaxing and comfortable, but Dana made it perfectly real!! Not only she is an outstanding person - very kind, really clever and charismatic, but also an extremely interesting interlocutor. She can enlighten you about zero-waste lifestyle and broaden your horizons in so many ways. I’ll miss our conversations about everything over a cup of delicious coffee - from politics to cultural norms and books!! ❤️
The house itself is really comfortable and beautiful, all the amenities are perfect, and my room and bed were very nice! I had a lot of personal space, though never felt abandoned or neglected.
You can cook whatever you want - there are a lot of kitchen appliances and utensils, not to mention absolutely delicious groceries in the fridge (coffee and tea are especially remarkable)!
Dana can give you a lot of extremely useful advice about interesting sights and places worth visiting in New York, where to buy the best food, how to get around the city, etc. As it turned out, not all locals are aware of the things she knows - not even close!
Ridgewood is a pleasant, clean, welcoming and safe area. It takes about 6-7 minutes to get the M train, which will take you to the heart of Manhattan - or you can take the L train as well.
Consider yourself extremely lucky if you found this option to stay, and if you are reading this - don’t hesitate and choose Dana’s place! ❤️
