David, Janet, and Mormon were all home when we arrived, and even though we had clearly all just met, they had such a warm disposition, I immediately felt at home.
Our flight arrived before noon, and it did not take us as long to get to their home (via taxi, as recommended) as I had anticipated. Janet let us know that even if the room was not completely ready for our early arrival, we could store our heavy luggage in their office instead of dragging it through the streets of Brooklyn.
David and Janet gave us restaurant recommendations according to what kind of food and price we might be looking for. We were given a tour of their floors of the shipping containers, and again, it felt like talking with friends. Their passion for their home, values, and beliefs was contagious.
The location was close to the train, easy to find by Lyft and Uber, and within walking distance to parks, a community garden, bars, and restaurants.
The space itself was cozy, intimate, and relaxing. I loved seeing all the well-worn books, games, and trinkets sprinkled around the space. It felt like a sanctuary, and was so appreciated at the end of long days.
We hope to visit again one day. Thank you, David, Janet, and Mormon!
