I made a reservation with Janet and John after having to leave the Airbnb I was in due to it being a disaster. After said disaster what I was looking for was someplace clean, cosy, safe and peaceful and that’s exactly what I got.
I was in town for a very intense work trip; early mornings and late nights so I really just needed someplace to rest my head. From the moment I arrived they were very welcoming and very helpful with getting me settled in my room. They also have a sign up on the outside of their house that let me know immediately I’d be happy there ;)
The house and room are definitely kooky but in a very lovely way. The shower was fantastic, I was dreading getting into bed because of the “disaster” but as I pulled back the sheets a waft of clean air puffed up and I slept like a log.
As a recent ex-Brooklynite the location of the house isn’t my favourite just because there isn’t much going on in the immediate vicinity but it’s conveniently located a 5 Minute walk to the L/G and even less to the J,M,Z and a short walk to all the cute cafes, restaurants and bars that side of the BQE and a 20 Minute walk to the Bedford area or you could take the L 1 stop.
If you’re looking for cosy, kooky, clean then this is your spot, if you’re looking for modern beauty then it’s not for you but you can pay a lot more and get that. This is value for money if you’re on a tight budget and you get to experience sleeping in a shipping container house!
If needed, I would absolutely return!
