If you want an authentic New York neighborhood, this is it: Bed-Stuy in Brooklyn. This is not gentrified Brooklyn, so don't expect coffee shops and cafes. But if houses parties that rage 'til 3 a.m. and overpriced bodegas and corner stores are your thing, this is your neighborhood. Seriously, the DJ at the party next door was on fire. I was tempted to crash it...

The apartment is close to several Metro stops and multiple train lines and just steps from ridiculously frequent bus service.

Edmund was very accommodating when our original flight was cancelled and we did not arrive until after 1 a.m. And in the refrigerator was Pepsi IN A CAN! After the day I had, that Pepsi was the best thing ever!

Thanks for allowing us to stay Edmund.
