Miriam’s home offers a perfect location, ideal for accessing subway lines to travel around Manhattan and beyond. Nearby are good restaurants and shops, and also Fort Greene Park where on Saturdays there's a delightful farmer’s market. Always personable, Miriam offered us many tips to enhance our explorations of NYC. Our easy connection and conversations made it feel as if we were visiting a friend. Miriam struck the balance between not intruding on our time or space, and not making us feel as if we were intruding on hers. Having full kitchen privileges allowed us to enjoy home-cooked meals. Interesting art throughout the house, fresh flowers and coffee beans were just a few of the details that made this home inviting. The large bedroom offers two exceptionally comfortable beds and a 'countryside-quiet' setting overlooking a garden courtyard. Finding such serenity in an urban setting is rare. Thank you Miriam. We're thankful to have met you and hope to return one day. Be well.
