We arrived on the Friday after a long 8-hour drive. There was some misunderstanding about whether we would come since it was the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the cleaning lady cleaned the place, we went to nearby Italian restaurant Saraghina for pizza and drinks (tip: go between 4 and 6 pm for 1/2 price pizza and wine). The place is secure (3 locked doors!) and beautifully decorated. The beds are comfortable and each room is amply heated as needed. We didn't expect to self-isolate and didn't mind not having a TV, but with the restaurants and bars restricted to take-out/delivery, and museums, Broadway shows etc. all closing, we tried to make the best of it by exploring a nearly deserted Brooklyn. Vida was lovely and provided us with Lysol wipes, hand sanitizer and anything else we asked for. She provided us with lots of tips and great suggestions about places to visit, even in these strange times. It's too bad we had to leave earlier than expected. With the city shutting down, it was the right decision. We hope to come back another time soon, to healthy, thriving Brooklyn and stay at Vida's again.
