Gabrielle has created an inviting atmosphere for guests, who are allowed to use her kitchen. The room is spacious, with an extremely comfortable bed and plenty of light. There is a lovely wooden desk facing a bay window for those who like to write, and a spacious closet. Guests also have a private bathroom. The location is a four-minute walk from the Q Line, which, according to my daughter who is lives in Brooklyn, is perhaps New York's finest for ease of moving between Brooklyn and popular places in Manhattan. The area has an abundance of shops and ethnic restaurants. Most importantly, however, is the warmth that Gabrielle and her family have created, which makes you feel immediately at home. I would book it again in a heartbeat.
