I had the greatest time staying at Elene's apartment ❤ I came to Brooklyn seeking inspiration and Elene's gorgeous, artsy apartment was the perfect place to stay at in this crazy, wonderful city. I never met Elene as she was in Europe at the time, but had the absolute pleasure of meeting her amazing cousin, Maku, who is such a beautiful and kind person. She made me feel extremely welcomed and comfortable from the moment I arrived. As a solo female traveller, I found the area to be safe no matter what time it was, even coming home late after a night out! The room was cosy (it doesn't feel like you're in the basement at all!) and the bed was so comfortable. I usually stay at entire apartment airbnbs because I'm extremely shy but this was one of the few instances where I actually genuinely enjoyed staying in a shared space because it is truly the best host, apartment, and area! xoxo
