I enjoyed a last minute stay at Julian and Michelle's beautiful brownstone home, whilst on a business trip for a project in Manhattan. They were super accommodating and the apartment had everything I needed, it really is beautifully remodelled and furnished. Lots of little considerate hosting touches like the Brooklyn Beer, and fresh ground coffee made it that much more special (great coffee table books on Brooklyn and New York). The local area has some lovely bars and restaurants to explore (check out the Italian bakery cafe nearby), and they provided a detailed list of hot spots in the area. I wish I could have stayed longer, but will be back with the family I am sure.
