What a wonderful, quiet, bright and soulful house !
I rented the space for two weeks for two picky artists for Berlin -- and they loved the place. Bright in the day (with a little back yard for yoga !!! ) and quiet in the night for everyone who is not used to the loud noises of New York City. So valuable, especially because you do not want to be waken up in the middle of the might while you are fighting jet lag. Yes, a bit out there -- but you get an entire newly renovated house! Easy to get in the city by the L train, just a little walk from the subway. Yes, a little longer ride to get into The City, but worth the time. At nighttime without traffic also an UBER or taxi is fast. And the trendy ( and louder) Bedford Ave. is on the way.
Host Rachel is a great communicator, an artist herself. She got back fast for any questions I had -- and and she called back to check in to make sure everyone is comfortable once the guests arrived. Getting in was easy with the code for the digital lock ... and the artists said they looked forward to returning home after long days. They liked the yard furniture and the large gas grill. The space is super clean, feels freshly painted, renovated - with cosy, separate upstairs bedrooms and a great new kitchen, including all-clad pots ! IKEA style ... And a Richard Serra exhibition poster on the wall with a personal note and a signature from Serra for our host Rachel!
All in all a comfortable little doll house for people who are looking for a little nest where you also can spend time while staying in New York. Just PERFECT for a family with kids -- or a couple, I imagine.
All in all they had a PERFECT stay ! Rachel seems to open up a new space in upstate New York -- I am planing on renting it once it is done. Can't wait to see it.
