We really loved Julia’s place! Her house is beautiful and unique and the styling is great! And the location was perfect for us. The neighborhood ‘Dumbo’ is vibrant and in development and it has a lot of lovely places and nice things to look at (if you like the modern industrial look). The atmosphere is more relaxed than in manhattan but still very alive (if that’s the right word). With the subway 3-5 minutes away, you can be in like 15 minutes in Manhattan. It’s also next to the both bridges, so the view over Manhattan is amazing.
The stay at Julia’s was more than expected. We didn’t see Julia or any of her housemates much, but when we did they made us feel welcome. We’ve got plenty of privacy and when we wanted to use the bathroom, it was always possible. The bed is also very comfy and the air conditioning was more than welcome during our stay. It was so hot outside (felt like 41 degrees) and with the ac it really was nice in the room. The only thing is that you hear the train on the Manhattan bridge loudly, but it didn’t woke us up once and it didn’t bothered us at all. Part of the stay in such a neighborhood I guess.
When we visit New York again, we definitely want to stay at Julia’s place again!
