Jamal’s apartment was stunning. While the apartment still needs some finishing work, it’s a gorgeous space with a lot of history. I had a barebones Airbnb in Brooklyn before this one, and the decorative touches and antique accents in Jamal’s place made me go “wow!” when I walked in. The tile motifs on the fireplace alone made the apartment worth every penny. Every night when I came back to the apartment, it felt like coming home to my glamorous Sex and the City-type abode.
A few things I would love to see improved: there’s a large stain on the ceiling that could use some paint. Curtains, even sheer ones, would be nice. The antique shutters didn’t seem to close completely. I also noticed a big dust bunny behind one of the shutters.
Jamal came across as a kind and generous person. He seemed easygoing and made me feel comfortable during my stay. I briefly met Dacia, who also seemed awesome.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to pretend you have the perfect life in a NYC brownstone.
