We had a wonderful and comfortable stay at Dee's studio. Dee is a very considerate host, who pays much attention to details that make guests feel so welcomed.

Our train to NYC was delayed by a mega storm, and in spite of the fact it made us reach our destination very late on a weekday night, Dee was very understanding and flexible, taking the time to welcome us and introduce us to her studio, as well as informing us about the neighbourhood's sights and highlights (she even took us to Brooklyn's fleamarket on the Saturday!).

Dee's studio is perfect to enjoy a calm and relaxed stay in NYC, whether one chooses to spend their days in Manhattan and/or simply wishes to make the most of all of what Brooklyn has to offer.

The studio is a short walk (less than 10 minutes) from the subway's C line (Kingston-Throop Avs station), which brings you directly into Manhattan in about 30 minutes time. It's also only a few short stops away from Brooklyn Heights, which is well worth checking out (and for a great sunset with Manhattan in the background, walk down Brooklyn Heights Promenade, you won't be disappointed!)

You'll notice the streets right next to the Kingston-Throop Avs subway station are not the nicest, but as soon as you walk down Tompkins Ave and check out transversal streets, you'll see beautiful areas with lush green trees and nice architecture. We felt very safe throughout our stay in Brooklyn, no matter at which time we wandered the streets neighbouring Dee's studio.

Although the studio might seem small to some, it's very well equipped: it has a small fridge, cable TV, and air conditioning, which was extremely appreciated considering the heat wave that endured throughout our stay. The bed is very comfy, and Dee provided linen & towels, which is great for those who like to travel light.

We highly recommend Dee's studio and will certainly return upon our next trip to NYC.

P.S.: If you are looking for yummy and cool places to grab a bite close to Dee's place, walk for 2 mins to Peaches Hothouse on Tompkins Ave (best sweet potatoe fries EVER). You can also enjoy good coffee or refreshing lemonade at the beautifully decorated Primrose Café on Greene Ave (Clinton - Washington Avs subway station, C line), which is steps away from the Brooklyn fleamarket (on Saturdays).
