I enjoyed every minute of my month long stay at Beverly's place. The apartment is on the top floor of an authentic Bed-Stuy brownstone. The space is very welcoming and a wonderful space for creative work and relaxation.
It's located on a quiet street in Bed Stuy with quick access to the train, you can be in Manhattan in 25/30 minutes. The area itself is safe and friendly, with a good selection of coffee shops, bars, grocery stores, and restaurants.
Beverly has made lots of effort to make the apartment feel homely and inviting for guests. The kitchen was well equipped with everything I needed to cook for myself.
Any questions I had, Beverly was super helpful and provided some great tips on where to eat and drink in the local area.
If you're looking to experience the 'real side' of NYC, and still be within a short commute to Manhattan, then I couldn't recommend Beverly's place enough.
