Honestly, I really don’t know where to begin. The entire experience was just an absolute joy.
The apartment/room: clean, cozy, comfy and with anything and everything you can imagine if you forgot something (masks, hand sanitizer, toothpaste, umbrella)…I mean you name it, she had it. Oh, and the bed (sooo comfy) and shower (perfect pressure) were the icing on the cake each day lol. Overall, I just really appreciated the thoughtfulness and extra touches to ensure I felt completely welcome (not to mention the shower caps and the shampoo for my textured hair). It was nice to see a space that acknowledged that guests have different needs.
Location: Perfect. Next door to a coffee/bagel spot and nice nail place! The train is the perfect distance away (you can finish your bagel on the way to the train lol…). Franklin Ave just a couple blocks away with so many cute boutiques, bars, cafés and restaurants. It’s the perfect spot.
Beth: The. Absolute. Best. She sings ( and will teach you how to sing if you ask lol). She bakes (I was lucky enough to be around for Christmas cookie season). She even packed a a little cookies-to-go baggie when I left. She’s thoughtful. Considerate. She really made me feel at home. Truthfully we were more like a couple of roommates than just guest/host.
Honestly, between the location, the coziness of the apt, and just Beth’s hospitality and warmth, it is really easy to think that you live here…and it’s hard to leave. Long story short: I loved it here. If you’re looking for a place to call home in BK for a few days, you’ll love it too.
