Deena’s place is so calm and lovingly decorated, like a mix between scandinavian and japanese. The bedroom is calm and the bed is comfy (especially like the soft feeling of the bedding). We didn’t see each other that much during my stay, but Deena was always quick to respond if I had a question and she wasn’t there. The terrace upstairs is spacious and and a great place either for an early breakfast or to relax in the evening. Deena was also very generous stocking up on drinks and yoghurt and some other things, which was very appreciated after a fairly long flight from Europe.
The location is just between Bed-Stuy and Bushwick, a quiet neighbourhood that still has a local and authentic vibe about it (in contrast to Williamsburg that more feels like a hipster-disneyland), while still feeling safe and also sporting good cafes close by. Commute to manhattan was easy aswell, directly with the J/Z-line, the station just a few minutes away on foot.
I absolutely loved my stay with Deena and did actully ask if could stay a second week (alas it was already booked). Would love to come back, and Deena is truly a wonderful host!
