It's gonna take a bit of time to list all the good things about this place:
- Nadya is simply a perfect host - kind, curious, responsive, hospitable (you just have to be lucky enough to find her home, because she lives and works in several different places across the States).
- The location is fantastic, close to the top of a lush green hill, with a view on Stapleton and the Verazzano Narrows beyond.
- The house is a large, late 19th century home, with spatious yet homey common areas, furnished tastefully with mostly old, pretty, hand-crafted furniture.
- The room itself is much larger than expected, there is even an extra bed in a corner! The colors too are pleasant -- it's a space that feels good to be in.
- The other 3 tenants, at least when I was there, were also great, friendly, interesting people -- I had fascinating conversations with all of them.
I feel really lucky to have been able to stay here.
