Paige and Sean were excellent hosts. Their place is exactly how the photos show. I was excited to arrive in NYC / BK knowing I was staying here, but was blown away once I’d arrive to actually see the accommodation and the location in Brooklyn. Paige has literally set up everything for a seamless stay and realistic expectations. In my books, everything was top notch. The apartment is kept clean and tidy, well set up for eating, lounging, cooking, listening to music and enjoy the sunlight stream in from the skylight window in the bathroom and throughout the apartment.
I stayed here for 3 weeks and it catered to all the experiences I was looking to have. Commuting into Manhattan was easy with different subway stations only about 7-10 minute walk away. It’s a safe neighbourhood so walking in the daytime and nighttime I always felt safe. Whether I was grocery shopping to eat in, or grab a bite out, there were tons of options. Especially loved the Bearded Lady.
When I wanted to stay closer to ‘home’ I checked out Beacon’s Closet and the Brooklyn Museum (hell to the yes BAM). I also did some running while I was here, and nearby Prospect Park was the perfect spot to do that. Part of my time in BK was to ‘get away’, so Paige’s record player and collection of records was the perfect way to unplug from the internet, unwind and enjoy the space.
I honestly have no qualms about my stay here. There was even a blizzard that rolled in, and Paige was prompt to follow up with a reassuring email about any concerns and what I needed to know. It turned out everything was fine, and made for a cozy stay-in snow day.
For cooking they use cast-iron pans, which both my friend and I weren’t used to. Paige was kind enough to draw an illustration of the washing instructions - it was so cute, I loved that personal touch.
Paige was so easy to communicate with, clear, direct and prompt messaging.
If you have the opportunity to stay here during your time to Brooklyn / NYC...
