We chose Dan & Bliss’ Victorian brownstone in Bedstuy because we ourselves live in a renovated Victorian house in South London and found it interesting to experience a similar lifestyle while in NY. The property did not disappoint. It is stylishly decorated and very spacious - bigger than the pictures suggest - with a huge walk in shower, massive bath tub (in a separate bathroom), big beds, large rooms, etc. This is a real luxury in NY when travelling with a baby.
The other highlight for us was the neighbourhood. Apart from being in the centre of one of the best preserved Victorian neighbourhoods in the US (almost 9,000 brownstone houses on picturesque tree lined streets, check out McDonough, Hancock and Madison in particular), the house is close to coffee shops (Milk & Pull), an excellent Italian bakery (Saraghina), a hip Japanese restaurant (Trad Room) and a short drive or bus / subway journey to hundreds of restaurants in Bushwick, Williamsburg, downtown Brooklyn etc. For sight seeing further afield, the A train has express trains from Utica to Manhattan in just over 20 minutes.
The only piece of constructive feedback we could think of was that the kitchen could be better stocked in plates and glasses - we weren’t big fans of the copper mugs, square ceramic plates, and plastic plates - but this can easily be remedied with a quick trip to IKEA. The kitchen is otherwise comfortable and fully equipped for preparing and eating meals (+ access to a lovely back yard).
