Nothing but good things to say about my stay here. The home is located in such a safe, convenient location -- there are restaurants, bars, shops, food markets, cafes all easily accessible the second you step foot outside. The 4th Ave - 9th St stop is only 1.5 blocks away or a 3 minute walk. I drove in Friday night from Jersey expecting the parking situation to be stressful and time consuming but all the side streets which are residential areas, all had a plethora of spots open and they are free.
The home itself was an absolute dream. For anyone like me who has a green-thumb, you'll most definitely appreciate the liveliness the home has with all the gorgeous house plants in the living room, bedroom and backyard space. On top of that, everything was in pristine condition -- the rooms, decor, furniture, appliances. Super bright space with a lot of natural light and incredibly homey ambiance. I also very much enjoyed the peaceful outdoor space to relax and get some work done. It was definitely one of my favorite features of this place. You can tell the owners take very much care of their home, so if you're looking for somewhere to be rowdy, this isn't it.
There are also so many thoughtful touches -- towels, toiletries, detergent for laundry. Russell was also kind enough to allow us to use his kitchen, but we opted to dine out for all of our meals instead. He is a great host -- welcoming, attentive and responsive to all of our questions. We spent a good chunk of our days outside exploring the city, but I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the home more. I'll be back to Brooklyn soon to attend more events, so I'll absolutely be staying here again in the future!
