Our stay in Liz and Pete's apartment was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with a warmth and kindness that would continue throughout our stay. Pete and Liz were always available to answer any questions/ problems we had and to signpost us to some of the best hangouts in the neighbourhood. The culture in Bed Stuy of saying hi to people in the street (even if you don’t know them!), chilling on the steps of your brownstone while enjoying the warm summer evenings is truly unique. Through this we made friends with many of their neighbours which added further richness to our holiday. There is also lots to explore locally and I would recommend walking around as much as you can; even if that’s just to admire the architecture. Should you want to venture into Manhattan, it’s a short train ride away..
The apartment itself is gorgeous and super comfortable; a few nights we were able to host friends who were also in New York and the place was perfect for these occasions. Plus, while Liz and Pete are not smokers, they didn’t mind us doing so outside the house while we made sure not to leave a mess behind either.

We highly recommend this airbnb to potential visitors, particularly if you are in search of an authentic New York experience…There’s no doubt we shall return again in the future :)
