I came to New York City for my 31st birthday and right from the beginning of searching for places to stay the garden sanctuary caught my eye. Everything, I mean everything was absolutely incredible. From my early arrival and Samara being so accommodating to meeting the cleaning lady who was so sweet, to the decor and flow of the house, to Samara giving us tips of things to do in Brooklyn, to our late nights strolls in the neighborhood and early morning empowerment card reading with a real drum roll from the coolest African drum in the house; the whole weekend was an experience that surpassed my expectations. And I say experience because that’s exactly what it was. Samara do not change a thing. Everything was beyond amazing. Thank you so so much. I’m beyond grateful. I’ll definitely be returning again.
