We stayed at Nzinga’s stunning apartment in September 2022. It was everything we wanted and needed for a week long stay, and it actually far exceeded our expectations in terms of how spacious, comfortable and high quality it was.
We were in close contact with Nzinga in the lead up to our stay. She was always on hand to offer recommendations about the neighbourhood and answered our questions thoroughly. A welcome pack with all of the check in details was supplied a few days before - this was a really special touch.
Our taxi from JFK airport took less than 30 minutes and cost approximately $40. In terms of travel for the rest of our trip, we took the subway everywhere as Nzinga’s is within walking distance of both Wilson Avenue (L line) and Chauncey Street (J line).
The area is largely residential, with a few shops, restaurants and bars to explore. A few stops towards Manhattan is where you can find the busier hipster Bushwick neighbourhoods, but we almost felt like we were mixing in with the locals when getting off at the nearest subway stops.
The apartment itself is beautiful. The living area is luxurious and spacious, and we even used the kitchen facilities on a couple of occasions. Extra amenities such as the ironing board and iron, hairdryer and supplied toiletries came in really handy.
All 3 bedrooms were spacious, stylishly decorated and came with ample storage space and wardrobes. The beds were so comfortable and we slept all the way through every single night. Despite being in the busiest city in the world, we couldn’t hear a thing once we stepped inside the apartment. It was serene and a welcome escape from the bustling city atmosphere.
I could go on and on! Thank you Nzinga for a wonderful stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return next time we are in NYC!
