Jaamil’s place was ideal—a comfortable, calm space in prime Bushwick, one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. It’s “hipster” Brooklyn, minus the pretense of overly-developed spots further west like Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Just a block-and-half from the DeKalb Ave L train station (an easy 8 stops from the city), you can be in Manhattan in literally 12 minutes—not that that should need to be prioritized, as there is *plenty* to see/do/taste/enjoy/discover right in the neighborhood. As a creative person, I was truly inspired by the area, and loved taking midday walks to nearby Maria Hernandez Park (two blocks away) to take in the gorgeous cherry blossoms. Lastly—Jaamil was a great host! Though we never crossed paths in person he was very attentive, checking in with a text once a week just to make sure all was going smoothly. And if I had a question (which was rare), he was always quick and efficient with a response. Thanks again, Jaamil!
