Murad's light-filled place has an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline; it's magical to really feel and see that you're in New York even when you're not out in the city. It's also great to feel like you're a part of a real neighborhood (Bushwick) even for a short stay-- though the M train super close to his apartment. Murad is extremely responsive, easy-going, and friendly-- I had to ask him on fairly short notice if it was ok for my three year old daughter to join us, and he emailed back right away to say it was no problem.
