I enjoyed my booking with Dana. As a NYC local, I found myself between housing and needed a temporary stay. It was very easy to feel at home—the room was spacious and comfortable. Dana is a friendly and easy-going host. Her sense of virtue & zero waste lifestyle is both admirable and inspiring. Dana's bnb felt like a nice retreat at a time when I needed a reset, and was trying to design a life that feels more aligned with my values. She was patient in educating me about zero waste and sharing her resources when I expressed interest in learning more, and I am so grateful for it! I will definitely continue practicing what I learned from her beyond my stay.
It was also nice to explore and see Ridgewood from a new vantage point, especially as someone who is looking for prospective neighborhoods to live. And yes, as mentioned by many, the Polish bakery by the M train is a must visit if you are booking this stay! I personally love the blueberry danish—especially when fresh out of the oven in the morning (per Dana's recommendation), the apricot & cheese pastry, as well as the honey cake. There are a ton of great grocery shopping options in the area if you are looking to cook, good restaurants within walking distance, and Williamsburg is also a short commute away.
