I worked remotely from Gvantsa’s place for a month and loved my stay. Her apartment has thoughtful touches throughout that make it feel like home. The high ceilings, big windows, and ample storage make the apartment feel large for a nyc studio. There were a few books highlighting the history of the neighborhood which were a welcome addition to my stay. One book pointed me in the direction of Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery 3 blocks away, which is a can’t miss if you stay here. I had never heard of knishes before, but was blown away that I had been missing out on them for my whole life. $5 and truly the best food item I had in New York. (I ate a lot of food, and now I’m poor and fat but happy)
I loved the location for access to every kind of cuisine you can imagine, great bars, easy access to the subway, walking over the Williamsburg/Manhattan/Brooklyn bridges, etc.
I walked to Central Park several times as well, because you never know what you might get to see on a walk through New York.
Wonderful experience, a dreamy apartment in a dreamy city.
