What a GREAT spot. Laia's place suited my needs perfectly and was exactly as pictured and described. Red Hook is an awesome neighborhood and for anyone wanting more of a "local's" experience of NY (and Brooklyn specifically) rather than a "tourist's" one then stay here. Black Flamingo for coffee, Court St Grocers for a breakfast hoagie, Food Bazaar for all the essentials, Defonte's for a hero, Grindhaus for a delicious dinner in funky + charming setting, and Sunny's for a nightcap (weeknights recommended). Walk down to the water, pet a stranger's dog or two, say Hey! to Lady Liberty, and watch the ships, boats, and birds float on by. Thank you Laia and NYC!
