This is a practical - if compact - apartment located in Brooklyn's Bushwick. It might not be the most high-end home in our New York Collection, but it's thoughtfully laid-out and offers a playful outlook to life (and New York, for that matter). We couldn't talk about this home without mentioning your lovely host, however. Gabriel (or Gabe) is incredibly attentive and, as you might have noticed, quite a keen craftsman. He also sews and has a passion for converting small spaces into comfortable (and sometimes humorous) homes.

Home truths
This home is on the compact side overall and the living space feels a tad corridor-esque.

The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

About Bushwick
Bushwick could be described as the younger, up-and-coming sibling of Williamsburg, its Westerly neighbour. If Williamsburg is now increasingly full of young families and increasingly affluent professionals, Bushwick still retains an edgy, less gentrified, artistic feel.
