Bernardo and Andressa were very welcoming, gracious, and helpful, and Akasha the dog is very gentle and sweet. I didn't spend a lot of time in my room as I was out sightseeing most of the time, but I slept well and was warm and cozy. Everything was clean and well kept, and I knew that Bernardo and Andressa would be as helpful as possible if there was anything I needed. They even offered me the use of their bicycles.

The neighborhood is very convenient to the L train, has great cafe's, the BEST Middle Eastern food (Oasis at Bedford and N. 7th), and a natural foods market that's open 24 hours! Goji berries and organic produce at 2am. Wow!!
