Great apartment very close to the M and G trains, very convenient to get into Manhattan or further afield via Penn Station. Bed Stuy is an interesting area, though we never really felt unsafe. The blinds in the bedroom do not block out any day light, meaning you're awake very early. The apartment has little sound proofing, so it gets fairly noisy in the mornings and evenings, though people who are used to urban living may not notice this like us hillbillies! Had a problem with the black gate (which needs fixing), but Angelika was straight down to lend a hand.
