We stayed at Eva & Jacob’s apartment for 16 nights in March / April 2019 so we certainly had plenty of time to get to know the apartment and the area well.
We picked the apartment as we interior design is important to us & we wanted somewhere calming to relax in after busy sightseeing days. We were not disappointed.
The apartment looks as chic, minimalist and tidy as it does it in the photographs. As city apartments go it feels fairly spacious for two people. It was great to stay in an authentic brownstone apartment! (They’re aren’t as many as you’d think in NYC!)
The apartment is very close to Ralph Avenue subway stop (6 minute walk) which takes you directly into Manhattan (25-30 mins). We went to Manhattan on about 10 of our 16 days and it didn’t feel like a long commute.
Eva & Jacob gave some good recommendations for groceries and eating out in the local area - Saraghina an Italian restaurant was our favourite, definitely check it out.
There isn’t a washing machine in the apartment however Eva & Jacob provided fresh bath towels every few days & we were able to do some laundry at a local laundrette just a few minutes away.
The neighbourhood Bed Stuy is very quiet at night although you might hear some noise from apartment directly above or beside - the nature of apartments.
Eva & Jacob were available to answer any questions during our stay however we didn’t have many as the info on Air B&B and the info left in the apartment was thorough.
If style is important to you and you want to be out of the bustle of Manhattan we would definitely recommend Eva & Jacob’s apartment and we would happily stay there again.
