After our last wild and fun airbnb experienc in a treehouse in Miami during hurricane Issac, we decided to head to NYC after a week-long business trip in north Africa. Lisa was great. She picked up Gugu at the subway stop after my flight was delayed. The place is cute and you won't imagine something like that even exists in NYC. Behind a fence interwoven with astrotruf lies the marina, a neighborhood on the water. The boat is a comfortable little capsule away from the hussle of the city but only minutes by car. As for getting away, two derecho storm cells rolled over Brooklyn that weekend, but we stayed warm, dry, and cozy on the barge.
