Style Notes

Homey Brooklyn style. This apartment has been lovingly curated by the host who is a writer and musician with a family. (He also owns bars/restaurants in Manhattan and Brooklyn so let him know if you want to reserve a table). Newly renovated, all fixtures and furnishings have been chosen for comfort and style. Colors are neutral with wood-style floors, white walls and a mid-century modern aesthetic. We love the marble-topped dining table, the entrance to the bathroom via a quirky sliding barn-wood door, and the lovely garden terrace – perfect for a chilled drink after a day exploring the city.
