Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
They say a person's home is a reflection of their personality, and on that basis, we'd definitely want to hang out with these hosts in their charming Clinton Hill home. With contemporary African art made by the host themself, there's something to swoon at in every room. Eccentric wallpaper and neon accents make this home particularly fun, especially when there's a pillow of Obama graciously waving at you. The house is full of lovely details, like white oak flooring that is finished to replicate the appearance of shou sugi ban, a Japanese technique that preserves wood by charring it with fire. And the owner's don't skimp on comfort either – from exquisite linens to plush mattresses, this townhouse is one for the books.
