Piya’s loft is PERFECT for someone who wants to experience Brooklyn as a local would. The space is funky-charming, but is very comfortable and we were there during a typical hot and humid August.
The neighborhood, Bushwick, is very cool - not yet gentrified but nicely kept and neither my wife nor I felt a bit unsafe. Within walking distance of numerous restaurants and bars and less than a block from a subway station if we needed to travel further.
Finally, Piya was a wonderful host. Promptly responded to any question and she comes across as very kind, caring and intelligent.
We loved it and would hope to stay there again when we return to NYC. So much more character than sterile and pricy Manhattan hotels.
