I stayed in Jacques' room for the month of January, to see if I want to move to the neighborhood. Jacques was away upstate most of the time, was super chill when he was around and was awesome at keeping in touch while he was away.

Both the apartment & neighborhood is a mix of gems and surprises. It's right above the G train which is super convenient for getting around, and happened to be centrally located for everywhere I wanted to go. There's a projector which is great for VHS movie nights or hosting a Girls marathon. The bathroom and kitchen could both benefit from a deep clean, as would any place that's in an older building. There is also a bar downstairs that sometimes gets noisy, though, I didn't mind it.

There was another girl subletting in the space at the same time, in the small bedroom, and we quickly became friends which was a pleasant surprise. Jacques' roommate and friends from down the street were super welcoming by inviting us to birthdays, shows, and get togethers. It felt a lot like summer camp.
