It was such a delight to stay in this remarkable apartment. We wanted a truly exceptional experience and to realize a dream of living the artist's life in NYC, and felt we really did get that. It was in the middle of a heat wave and we were grateful for the air conditioning and fans. Tip for those staying in the summer: if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs to help with the noise from the air conditioning in the bedroom - we are not used to it, being from Scotland. The area is very industrial, with nearby neighborhoods being culturally-diverse places where real people live rather than 'tourist' areas. We enjoyed spending time in the nearby 'Industry City' design center with cool cafes and shops. Mostly we took Ubers to get to other parts of Brooklyn as we did not have much time and that seemed easier than figuring out the public transportation, but added some cost onto our spend for the weekend. We loved meeting Doug and Tommy. Doug made us delicious coffee on our last morning and we realized that we have many common interests - so wonderful to not only stay in such an amazing place but also to make new friends. Highly recommended!
