Marc and Karen's place was the perfect soft landing back in Brooklyn after extensive travel. It's close quarters with a family - and extended family of guests - but there's plenty of private space. And communal space feels cozy, not cramped. I got to stay in what I call the "DJ hall of fame" room. Downstairs, past a corridor of vinyl, it's an oasis of space, peace and comfort. This is a rarity in New York. It's also an homage to hip hop culture, in a way that made me feel right at home. If you're interested in experiencing Brooklyn like a local, or participating in some DJ diplomacy (TM), this is for you! Also, Marc and Karen are wonderful.
