I travel frequently and never before have I had a situation of meeting the host in-person...it was so fun!! Luca gave me a tour of the property and we spoke about the renovation process--I'm such a fan of old houses and it was great to hear about the love and sweat equity the owners have put into this beautiful historic home.The house is charming and very homey in the decor. The kitchen was well-stocked with coffee supplies and dishware. Plenty of fluffy towels, pillows, and blankets. Be aware that you must be capable of navigating stairs at this property.The location is absolutely supreme: my son and I saw a concert at Bowline, went to the riverfront for lunch, drinks at Flytrap in the Brooklyn Arts District...everything was within just a few minutes walk. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet and a perfect home base for our adventures.10/10 would stay here again!!

Luca and Amy were so helpful. We had an unexpected family emergency and they went out of their way to make us feel at home as they prepared the home for our visit. I would highly recommend this home to people visiting with children and/or pets. I just can’t say enough about the beauty of this home!
