There are not many options for places to stay in Gowanus, but Celeste is a great one. The hostess Shahla is wonderful, and this beautifully restored house is a great place for someone to stay at to experience the neighborhood. They have tried to preserve much of the original structure and their outdoor garden is beautiful.
It's conveniently located near to the 4th & 9th Subway stop for easy access to the rest of Brooklyn or Manhattan, and it's around the corner from 4 & 20 Blackbirds, for all your coffee and pie needs.
If you can get a booking here, I highly recommend it. I'll be recommending it to all friends and family who visit! read more
