Dan and Bliss's home in BedStuy is more than we expected. Even though it's about an hour subway trip to Manhattan's main attractions, the house offers a calm and spacious haven for a family or small group of friends before and after enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a historic brownstone, beautifully renovated keeping it's original charm and adding the modern commodities you expect when traveling.
As a family, we love to cook, and the kitchen is well equipped with the basics for our home-cooked meals. The living room is very big, with a comfortable sofa, chairs, and a big TV that made our nights homy and joyful. We didn't get to use the deck and backyard much because of the season (winter), but we did enjoy turning on the lights and drinking hot chocolate, even if it was just for a short while.
The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are sooooo comfortable!!!! We have to kids, and Bliss made sure we had an extra mattress for them in the guestroom. Finally, the bathrooms are luxurious, and the whole house was very clean and neat.
Additionally, Dan and Bliss were perfect hosts. They answered our questions promptly and were always ready to help. They even had a bottle of prosecco and snacks for us when we arrived!
All in all, this house was the perfect place to stay for our family NYC Christmas trip.
We are very grateful to Dan and Bliss and hope to return in the not so distant future.
