This home is filled with pops of colour, plants of every shape and size, and the host’s own artwork. It might not be a look that suits everyone, but you can count on character and homely touches here. We love the vintage and recycled furniture, which sit comfortably amongst the bright textiles and bohemian accent pieces. On top of that, there’s a private roof terrace, equipped with a hammock and a pallet bench. This home is a haven in the middle of Brooklyn.

Home truths:

*If you’re a clutterphobe, we would recommend looking elsewhere
*Even though this home is a little further out, it takes less than half an hour to get to Lower Manhattan
*Guests will have to climb twenty steps to the reach the front door (there is no elevator)
*If you’re a Netflix addict, you’ll need to bring your own streaming device because there is no TV here
