The whole experience with Jon and Joaquin was absolutely amazing, from the moment that our booking was accepted communication was excellent. Joaquin offered tips and advice in advance of our stay which we found extremely helpful. Our room was simply breathtaking, it sits on the third floor of an approx one hundred year old Brownstone with its own private bathroom which was also beautiful, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel were supplied for us to use if we wished. Jon and Joaquin have renovated their home to an extremely high standard with passion and sensitivity to reflect its period charm, it is the perfect balance of old and new. You will be amazed at how beautiful it is, you are also free to enjoy their garden which is equally as beautiful. Their home is filled with light, love and laughter and we feel privileged to have been able to share their home albeit for a short time. I think we made quite good friends with Maggie and Bodhi, two very laid back dogs that it was also a pleasure to get to know. We were given so many helpful tips from where to eat, art galleries to visit the best use of the subway, you can only get this sort of advice from the people who live there. The subway was only two blocks away and felt very safe, you can purchase a 7 day unlimited pass for 30 dollars which is excellent value. There were endless restaurants, deli's and supermarkets nearby, some of the best sandwiches we have ever had. At the top of their street sits Sunset Park with a view that will render you speechless day or night, the park is used by many of the locals from walking their dogs to families using the children's area or vast groups enjoying their early morning exercising. We felt very sad to leave such a wonderful place but most importantly to leave two people who made us feel so welcome and have left us with the most incredible memories we can't thank you enough.
