We used Tom’s place as a stopping point to explore NYC for a few days as a part of a 2-month history road trip. It checked all the boxes for a home base: affordable, close to transportation, free parking and safe neighborhood. Lots of fun things to explore in the bushwick neighborhood itself, too. We don’t do a ton of cooking while visiting New York, but Tom has the basics if we wanted to try- toaster oven, crockpot, plug in stove. We really just needed some place to crash at night- some people may not like that there are no windows, but it was fine for us. Cozy spot that worked well for a mom and three kids. We learned the hard way the spot right next to the apartment is a NO PARKING zone, it’s a school driveway - even though the curb is not cut out and the gates with the “no parking” sign are open inwards, so watch for that if you are parking at night and only looking at the posted street parking signs (the street parking sign just says no parking there M/Th). Tom was really responsive and helpful during our trip!
