J's apartment was perfect in so many ways - and it was one of the few places I've stayed where I could imagine living in NYC comfortably. And the weekend started off on a high note when I got parking right across the street when I arrived!
The location was ideally situated halfway between my son's apartment and that of his girlfriend. It had a fully stocked kitchen if I were inclined to cook (which I wasn't - we ate & drank our way around Brooklyn). But, it would have been easy to whip up a few meals. The bed was SUPER comfortable, and I slept like a baby both nights. I slept in the back bedroom, as I am from a pretty quiet area and not used to city noises. No noise problem back there. The towels were thick and soft - nicer than what I have back home!
We didn't hang out at the apartment much, but it was very comfortable when we gathered before going out for the evening on Saturday. The Bluetooth speaker in the sitting area connected seamlessly to my music, and it felt like home.
I look forward to returning in the spring and taking advantage of the wonderful back yard.
J - thanks again for sharing your home with me.
