The neighborhood and surrounding areas are very nice/safe. My family and I (which includes a 6 year old child) walked to and from the train and the apartment and various stores without any problem. It was about a 7 block walk to the A/C trains and an average of $9 uberx ride to and from the nostrand (?) train station from the apartment. There is also a bus stop a block away from the apartment as wee. The neighborhood is clearly developing and you see many rehabbed properties and planned construction on many buildings on the block itself and all around, but there was never any noise complaint. We didn’t have a car so I am not so sure about outside parking, but we did see a patrol officer writing tickets a couple of the days we stayed there. As the host states, there are plenty shops and bodegas to shop for what you need close. As an added bonus, if you’re in to this type of stuff, the apartment is literally a block and a half away for the Notorious B.I.G. BedStuy mural . The apartment was a nice size for our family of 3; We had plenty of space to use. The living/dining room area, while combined was still spacious and usable. The bottled water and fruit were a nice touch as well along with stocked cabinets with cookware. The bathroom and bedrooms were furnished enough for our liking with extra necessities accessible (extra towels, toilet paper bed sheets, pillow cases, etc) The bed rooms are not super big but big enough to sleep and put your things in the closet without any issue. There are air conditioners in each bedroom and also in the living room as well. The apartment can get pretty hot so we kept them on while we were home. We didn’t notice the living room air conditioner unit until about the second day so it was a little uncomfortable initially but nothing too pressing. There is a private backyard area that is a pretty nice extra to the house; it has places to sit and eat and talk. We didn’t utilize it that much after the first time since we got ate up by mosquitos, but it could have just been due to the light rain or time of day. We had one unfortunate incident in which the room that connects to the outside garden flooded out during a big rain storm on our second to last day. About 8-9AM, rain water gushed in from the back door and damaged some of our things we had lying around. Some of the flooring is buckled under the bed and around the door so it seems to have happened before. We attempted to reach the host multiple times but was unsuccessful. We eventually were able to get in contact with the host (she advised that she was out of the state) who thoroughly apologized and explained that a drain must have been clogged and called...
