We just spent a month in Giovani's loft space in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Giovani and his family made us feel very welcome and were very helpful. The space was clean, bright with all the skylights, and very much as we expected and was ideal for our needs. Very comfortable bed, and a good kitchen, with a full stove and loads of pots and pans. I did a lot of cooking because we were there to help our daughter who lives nearby and just had a baby. The location made getting into Manhattan very easy -- less than 5 minute walk to the L line at Myrtle-Wykoff, and 20 minute ride to Union Square. There are also good bus lines for getting around Brooklyn. A huge supermarket is at the end of the street with food from all around the world - made shopping a big adventure! People were very friendly in the largely Spanish-speaking neighborhood. There's a wash and fold laundry right by the supermarket which we found very convenient. There's even a gym that you can join for $10 a month! All in all, we had a very happy time.
