Coming in as a traveling circus for the Fringe Festival Stelian & Deanna's beautiful brownstone provided us a wonderful place to retreat to away from the hustle of Manhattan. Six of us were very comfortable in their home and could easily find our own nook to nestle in if we needed solitude.
The neighborhood is lively and charming with plenty of hidden gems to seek out for food - Peaches, Bedford Hill, Scratch, Saraghina, The Pantry, just to name a few - and has managed to resist the gentrification that has swallowed the intimacy of many other Brooklyn neighborhoods. The home also has a great kitchen and lovely back yard if you choose to prepare your own food.
Traveling to and from the brownstone, be it to Manhattan or through the neighborhood, I always felt safe and secure.
Adina and Hayley, who helped to manage our stay in Stelian & Deanna's absence, were always attentive, helpful and kind.
I highly recommend this brownstone to all and hope to return soon.
