A perfect place for a first time visitor to fall in love with Brooklyn. I was blown away by the sheer density of art and community, plus everyone we met was remarkably friendly and down-to-earth. It might seem small, but gender neutral restrooms seem to be the norm in this corner of Bushwick, which was part of what made it amazing to spend a whole day out and about with everything we could need in easy walking distance.
Access is super straightforward, roof is up one flight of stairs if you’re a smoker or (in our case) just want to enjoy a moody view of the skyline. It’s pretty quiet for how central it is, light sleepers may want earplugs but I’m a sucker for train noise and found it soothing.
Layout has changed slightly from photos, there’s a little more separation between the living space and bed now, which meant I got to enjoy the wonderful library without disturbing my partner as they slept. Couldn’t ask for a better home base, and super thankful to Nia for sharing it with us.
