We loved our stay here! The apartment was large and airy and had everything we could have wished for for a week or even much longer. While Bed Stuy doesn't have the greatest reputation among New Yorkers, we loved it and found the locals friendly and the area very safe. A Metro pass for $29 for the week made getting around NY really easy, relatively fast...NY is a BIG place!!!... and cheap. Again, the subway and buses felt very safe. A nearby restaurant , Peaches, was excellent and there were also lots of local stores to buy milk etc as well as a big supermarket only a couple of blocks away. (NY blocks are much smaller than Australian blocks.) As others have said, the pictures of the apartment are accurate and the price very reasonable for such a large place in NY.
