I hosted a few cocktail parties here this time around (my third stay in the place), and told my friends the venue was "The Carriage House." Many pretended to have "heard of that bar before." Liars all, but it's understandable. Once you know this place, you cannot unknow it, and you will pretend to have known about it forever.

I've heaped significant praise on this venue and the hosts in my previous two reviews. All that applies to this third stay as well. Things I didn't mention before that I appreciate now: on-site washer/dryer, a communal garden in the courtyard, ceiling fan in the bedroom, and the completely unassuming facade facing the street which utterly hides the magic on the other side of the wall.

For one month, I lived in a paradise, and the extended stay gave me more flavor for the lovely neighborhood.

From the Latin dance nights at the neighborhood church to the Breaking Bad watch parties at Vanderbilt Avenue's Soda Bar to the proximity to Prospect Park, this hood is pretty amazing.

My morning routine included a stop at Beny's Delice for coffee and a croissant and then a walk to my choice of C train (boo) or 2/3 train (yay!). I was within rolling distance of Fort Greene, and if I'd wanted to, I could have twerked with Miley Cyrus at MTV's VMAs at the Barclays Center.

Someone tell AirBNB to add more stars, because five ain't enough!
