North Brooklyn Apparently Not Hostile to Hostels

Miss Heather's blog had a post last week about the "Luxe Hostel" now on offer over at 184 Eagle Street. For around $800 a month, you can rent a room, complete with locker, fully-equipped kitchen and purported Manhattan views. There's also the "Greenpoint Lodge" on Norman St., which doesn't have rates on its site. Both places are advertising on Craig's List, and Miss Heather has some evidence that the Luxe Hostel (sometimes also called the Luxe Guesthouse) people have more hostels--up to six--planned. There is even a Facebook page!*

Miss Heather raised some questions about if these units, filled to capacity, will exceed occupancy levels for the buildings, but I'm not sure the DoH is going to crack down on that when they've overlooked so much in the neighborhood already.
