Regardless the current lockdown and putting your safety first from the outbreak, I chose to extend my stays at Desmond's and Rodney's at least until everything starts to get back to normal. Because Desmond and Rodney have given me the best hospitality I've never felt such as 'home' even compared to renting a high-rise apartment in Brickell, Miami. If it's possible for me to extend as long as I am going to be in New York, I will not look further for other Airbnb listings out there. The furnitures suit well with Bed-Stuy's vintage aesthetics and they are all comforting you while having your work at home. As Desmond and Rodney are always responsive thru text, they always keep you informed if anything happens and offered with any inquiries. This is the key of feeling as if I'm 'home', by having the hosts to make sure you are comfortable during the stays. Outside the stays, the neighborhood is where I've always wanted to be since I was a little kid somewhere in Indonesia. Fortunately, the laundry and grocery store are only two blocks away, so you'd feel safe even during the lockdown. But focus on the stays itself, it's not easy to find hosts like Desmond & Rodney!
