Loved my stay with Jake and Ellie. This is a home-y place that gives you a sense of normal life in Bushwick, living with considerate housemates. All is as advertised. Super well connected (20mins to Manhattan) and right in the middle of great bars, restos and artsy things. Great vintage shops nearby (loads!). Safe area despite its rough around the edges charm.
Ellie gave me the bedroom upstairs, which was spacious, had a desk and a closet, and a space heater for when it got colder. Everyone in the house was very kind, made an effort to be super quiet in the mornings and evening, and just generally went about their lives. Keeping on top of cleanliness depends a bit on the other guests in the house. Some dishes and food in the sink at times, but no major issues here either.
Ellie is super helpful and responsive in terms of communication. She offered me extra blankets and Aspirin when I felt sick after my booster shot. She went out of her way to accommodate additional needs. Will definitely stay here again!
