This apt is kind of the border between Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy neighborhoods. Really walkable and subway accessible. We came starting Labor Day weekend which coincided with the big West Indian American carnival and parade which was amazing (and rowdy) to celebrate since it's a super Afro-Caribbean neighborhood with a lot of culture, history, and music legends (Biggie, Mos Def and Jay are from the area). It's getting gentrified though so it's important to check yourself as a traveler and be respectful and engage the locals.

The apt itself pretty comfortable, just be prepared for a tiny kitchen and being on the first floor w/o curtains. But Polly takes care to make sure everything's clean, let's you know how to best take care of the space, and left out notes with recommendations of her family's favorite eats around the neighborhood.
