We’re a family of five based in the Bay Area (though native-New Yorkers) and stayed for six weeks. We didn’t want to leave. Here are some of the highlights:
EXTREMELY WALKABLE
- we were across the street from a grocery store, Starbucks, local cafes, and great restaurants like Peaches
- two blocks from the subway in either direction
- a block away from local library which had weekly live jazz
- a bike, walk or bus away from Fort Greene, Downtown, Bed Stuy & Park Slope - we mostly walked but occasionally rode a Citibike
- two blocks away - in either direction - from lovely playgrounds with sprinklers
COZY HOME
- we stayed cool indoors with air conditioning which was used often due ti several heat waves
- great appliances so we were able to cook at home
- spacious NYC backyard which the kiddos loved
- beautiful interior and aesthetic; loved the mix of historic and modern touches throughout
- kiddos really loved the bunk beds and access to books and toys
COMMUNICATIVE
- Our hosts were available and often reached out before we needed them e.g. they reached out days before our arrival to orient us to the check-in process. Really appreciated that.
Overall, it was a five-star experience! Would return in a heartbeat.
