My boyfriend David and I stayed at Madison's apartment for 4 nights several weeks ago. Madison is very friendly and easy to connect with. Her place is perfect for 2 people to be comfortable in, and the pictures nicely reflect what you get. And what we got was a very clean, tastefully decorated, simple space. The kitchen looked brand new, the whole space nicley "un- cluttered". The J Train line is literally a block away, which was super efficient in catching the subway into Manhattan. There are 2 grocery stores conveniently located within a very short walking distance. We highly recommend taking the J Train, connect to the L Train and hopping off at the L Train Morgan Ave station. There you will end in a super cool area of street art heaven. We saw incredible graffiti , which is condensed in that area, (Morgan Ave.,Bogart St.,Siegel St,White St.).Stop off for great coffee at Swallow Cafe, and don't miss free chocolate samples at Fine & Raw (Chocolate Factory)right around the corner. And you MUST go to Roberta's Pizza!!! We ate there 3 times. It ain't famous for nothing. It's got the perfect eclectic vibe with the most incredible food at a very affordable price . It's a wonderful experience.Is Bushwick on it's way to becoming gentrified? How would I know...I did stop myself from complaining that there was not a nice coffee shop on the corner. In other words, this area does not cater to brooding hipsters, which adds to the authenticity of the experience. You can easily find that in Williamsburg(LOL)!And you can get your bagels at the first stop into Manhattan at Essex Street which leads you right into the heart of the Lower East Side! would totally recommend Madison's space ,as it is a safe, clean and convenient. It is a little slice of peace and quiet, a cozy refuge in a bustling world!
