Super spot, very private, easy in and out; first floor was a big plus! Hope to return in the warmer months to take advantage of the adjoining garden off the nicely new and well-appointed kitchen. Host was most accommodating and the neighborhood utterly unique and worth exploring.
I would add to the host’s list of places to go (that are within walking distance):
1. A wonderful wine and liquor store, Wet Whistle Wines - barely a block away, beautifully designed and decorated & with a very knowledgeable and helpful staff.
2. Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pies
3. Strong Rope Brewery (excellent beers and with wine and cider too!) at the end of one of the many piers with a can’t miss backdrop of New York harbor and the Statue of Liberty. Immense indoor space un an old warehouse with outdoor seating, on the waterfront as well.
Red Hook is a vibrant neighborhood for creatives and home to many artists; it’s people and shops catering to their craft.
