My son, his pregnant wife and myself had a joyful reunion in Brooklyn staying at Deb and Paul's lovely and spacious two bedroom lower level apartment. We shared an enterance which never felt awkward. A sense of privacy prevailed. It was decorated in a charming and comfortable manner. Original water colors painted by Deb's father adorned the walls and comfort reading material was in the bookcase.
The neighborhood offered anything we might have needed, from a handy Rite Aid, to a coffee shop with great bakery offerings. Nightlife abounds. Safety is not a problem.
We were there for festive reasons which did not necessitate a kitchen. There is a small refrigerator to maintain those midnight snacks and leftovers though.
Deb and Paul were always available to us if we needed them. They were the type of host you enjoy...friendly and wanting you to positively experience their city as much as they apparently do themselves. Interesting and creative individuals that are caring for your wellbeing while staying at their zen-like retreat. Thank for your hospitality !
