John and Ainslie are such lovely hosts! Their home is more amazing than the pictures can do justice. While we were out most of the day, it was so nice to come back to a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, only about 2 blocks away from the Q Train. The view out of the guest room is great and there's so much light in the morning. Their home was very beautiful to stay in and we felt very lucky to have found it! The area they are in also has a few great restaurants to check out. We ate breakfast/brunch at two places (PLG Cafe and Salem Hour), and dinner at another (Erv's), and it was so close and all so different from one another. We really liked how convenient the neighborhood was, there's also a grocery market that seems to run 24 hours and was nice to go to if you needed a quick snack. There's a beautiful park nearby that we didn't get a chance to explore, but hopefully we will the next time we're in town!
The subway entrance near their home is just a brisk walk away, and it takes you all the way over to the Uppet East Side if you want to head there. The timing is maybe roughly 30-40 minutes but it was definitely better than taking a taxi or car ride. We would get back late in the evening but the walk in their area is very quiet and we felt safe in the neighborhood! We'll definitely try to see if we can visit again! :)
