We really loved our stay at Tom's and Lily's. Bushwick is a relly nice neighborhood, really artsy and trendy. There are many bars and restaurants. We felt safe all the time. Also, the subway station is really close to the loft and the L train is great to get to Manhattan. We should also add that the loft is in the fourth floor, but only if you are counting the one on the street, so we had a great surprise to know it is really on the third floor (only 56 steps). The bed is confy and they have everything in kitchen and bathroom to make you feel at home (they lend a hairdryer, so there's no need to bring yours). There's a good espresso machine. Tom was the best host ever, we didn't have any problem contacting him. We didn't get to know Lily, but I am sure she is as nice as Tom. The only small issue is that the air conditioning is in the living room/kitchen and the room never gets really cold... They have a ventilator in a window in the room, so that some of the cold air goes inside of the bedroom. It's a nice solution, but the guest should know beforehand about that. We'd book their place as many times
as we go to New York.
