Benjamin and Don's place is so so so wonderful that I would make an excuse to plan a trip to NYC just to stay at their place. The design choices are all made with a keen eye. They are clearly smart about making the space warm and homey while being hip and trendy. We could not have asked for a better space. There is a full size dining table (seats 6) to eat meals properly if you want to order in from any of the wonderful places around the area. The living room is cozy with all the creature comforts like a smart TV, board games, sofa, puff ottomans, books, etc. It even has a skylight that provides the perfect amount of sunshine. It even serves as a lovely background noise when it rains. The block is so quiet and cute, all while being literally a two minute walk from a humongous supermarket that is open until 12:30 am most days. It really helped during our trip. The bathroom feels like a spa bathroom! <3
Benjamin and Don kindly stocked the kitchen with all sorts of things. Butter, coffee, wine, sodas, water, etc. When we arrived, there was a jar of cookies that would have probably lasted anybody else with willpower a solid 5 days but we ate them all within a few days. SO DELICIOUS! They even backed us a loaf of bread that was amazing to have for breakfast through the week. We met both Benjamin and Don and were charmed at how sweet they were. Benjamin is a totally adorable ball of extroverted energy and Don, a sweet and calm guru-like presence. Truly could not have asked for better hosts and will make sure to look for this place whenever we need a place to stay.
