Somewhere like Pillai...

Being a sucker for good hotel breakfast and bed sheets. I hv never see the relevance of taking up Airbnb. However, this time round in NYC. I am desperate to be living in a loft. So, the choice of doing Airbnb is obvious and turned out to be real Gold!


I like the homey twist. Can't tell you how delighted we were to find condiments, rice cooker! N such. And to me, Airbnb works well because...


It allows us to connect with like minded people. Our host James settled us in smoothly. Gave us great tips around the Brooklyn. More about that laters..;)


I never really felt home for a long time. 3.5years in rental apartments. Shanghai, Shenzhen and coming next;HK. Makes me miss living in a real home. Home is not a house. It's the furnitures you buy, the wall with the colors you like. For rented apartments, you inherit. You don't create.


Anyway something special. The industrial lift that we used. Semi manually operated. I find it damn cool. Some background. This building used to be a garment manufacturing factory. Now converted to 2A residential.


Totally what I would like, right? The lofts that I see in interior design magazines. Becoming a reality for me to live in. It's an amazing feeling. Anyway, needless to say. Ended up, we took the stairs most of the time.. Still no complaints.!


The manhattan skyline at the rooftop. I could totally imagine doing a BBQ in summers. Well, the place is so charming that I decided to extend it for my solo 3nights. Below is a picture taken from Airbnb. Beauty,isn't. So my style. So Pillai~


Lastly. My favorite meal. For a long time. Prepared by PQ. She is a star! Muackz!,
