This is the second time I've stayed with Julie, and I honestly wouldn't ever want to stay anywhere else. She's the most amazing host, and gives you space to make her apartment your home, whilst being available with tips, help and chats whenever you need them. Kitty is an awesome feline added bonus to raise your happiness levels too!
Julie's apartment is clean, welcoming, has all the extra tiny added details tyou might ever need (from a hairdryer to spare storage boxes for food / packing snacks to take out). I've been to NYC a few times and stayed in different places inc. hotels in the city, but this spot in Bushwick now feels like a second home. Stayed with my partner and Mam this time and they all thought thecarea felt safe, vibrant, affordable, diverse, community minded and a slice of 'a real local's NYC' too. There are lots of bars and places to eat (takeaway and sit in) on the streets around Julie's doorstep, plus a supermarket 5 mins walk away. Subway lines L and M are fairly close (the views from the M as you approach the city are unreal). Fab choice of laundrettes close by too if you're staying for a while.
Basically... Julie, Kitty and their place are a NYC hidden gem and
make every trip the best. I miss them loads already, and can't wait to stay again. Thanks so much to you both xxxx
