Jessica is a fantastic host--cheerful, flexible, accommodating, and responsive. Her appealing personal attributes are reflected in her home, which is elegant, comfortable, spacious, and peaceful. There are so many charming elements in her home--beautiful lighting, comfortable furniture, and fantastic bursts of color in exactly the right places. Jessica has clearly put a lot of care and attention into restoring her home so that its magnificent details really shine. The place is both classic and eclectic, brimming with its owner's personality and cultural interests and awareness. There are two outdoor spaces to enjoy--a deck on top and a patio on the ground floor, both of which are available only those staying at Jessica's place. The neighborhood is easy and peaceful, and at the same time quintessentially Brooklyn. If you're craving some nightlife and vibrant restaurants with mouthwatering menus, you need only walk less than 10 minutes from the house. There are several nice coffee shops within 5 minutes from Jessica's place. Some very good grocery stores are nearby, as well as a couple of cute boutiques with lovely and reasonably priced items (I'm pretty sure I bought one of everything in Peace & Riot). If you want to go to Manhattan, the subway is around the corner. I found, however, that I was mostly content to stay in the neighborhood, and even more delighted to stay at home. Jessica's place is full of books and beautiful, charming, whimsical things to look at, like the wallpaper in the 1/2 bath which features images of Biggie Smalls as well as Hasidic men in passionate conversation. "Classic Brooklyn scenes," said my sister-in-law. Classic Brooklyn describes the experience you will have at Jessica's warm and wonderful place, which is a perfect combination of old and new, and attractive and inviting in every single way.
