We stayed at Jewel’s for 2 weeks and she was an amazing host! The place is really clean! She has air conditioning in the room, which is really a life saver for those hot summer days. The place is very ideal for us because the train station is just a 2 minute walk around the corner. The park also brings fresh air to the area. Just arround the corner are all sort of shops that will provide you all you need like food and laundry. In the room, you will find a lot of books and reading materials about New York and Brooklyn. What we personally find very helpful was the book about „Etiquette“ as a non New Yorker. It help us enjoy New York even more. She gave us a lot of insider tips where to go.
The neighborhood is a melting pot of cultures! We felt well as the people in the neighborhood are kind and very helpful.
Jewel is a very thoughtful host too. She provided us with enough universal plug adaptors, and even an umbrella - things that one might forget to bring in their travels. One time we went for breakfast with Jewel and not only did we learn a lot about New York and it’s people but we were laughing our hearts out as she is such a wonderful person. I can really recommend Jewel and her place!
