Staying at Tony and Lee Ann's was an absolute dream! I loved coming home to my bright, spacious room every day and the adventure of meeting the community's different members.
As a creative myself, I highly value being surrounded by easygoing and culturally engaged individuals, and living here for a month wasn't just about having a place to sleep but rather an experience to cherish. I met poets, writers, actors, artists, dancers, yogis - and had inspiring interactions with everyone I met.
The kitchen was well-equipped for making coffee and meals, and the family thoughtfully had given me space in their pantry and fridge for my stuff.
My bedroom also had ample room for all my stuff, so I was able to fully unpack and have a very comfortable month in NYC. There were lots of great books to read, TWO fans and an AC unit, heavy drapes for sleep-ins and nice lighting options.
I had a large bathroom to myself, which was decorated in a Moroccan hamam style! Really large, beautiful showerhead and good water pressure.
There were many perks to staying here, not least amongst them the family's generosity with museum, gym and bike passes. Definitely stay here if you're looking for a fun, creative home in NYC!
