My friends and I spent about five weeks here at Vida's. Apart from being a super cozy, quaint, well-decorated, historical, and beautiful apartment, Vida was an exceptional host with great recommendations and an unbeatable response time. We only had a few questions/concerns throughout our stay and Vida took care of us so swiftly.
This part of Bed-Stuy is so so so sweet and quiet and close to really great restaurants, bars, and shops. We highly recommend Lover's Rock if you like reggae, and Turtles All The Way Down if you're looking for a laidback, dive-ish bar. We ate at many many restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and our favorite meal came from Peaches Hothouse (on Tompkins Ave). Vida recommended Manny's Wine Shop, and we went there multiple times because it's so close to walk to and the selection is super diverse with affordable options as well.
There were three of us working from home during the day and it felt spacious enough for us all to do our own thing.
You can control the temperature in each room which was excellent for us, as the weather in NY varied from 30-65 degrees F while we were there. Lots of space to put our clothes and though we didn't get to hang out there much, the private garden was super cute. The beds were all great, and the linens felt so clean and crisp. The kitchen had everything we needed (except a baking sheet! but we were fine to improvise), including just about all the coffee-making methods one could need.
I truly cannot say anything bad about this place or our stay. It was simply 10/10, a dream, better than we could have ever expected. We made tons of great memories and are happily convinced Bed-Stuy is the best neighborhood in all of New York :) Thanks so so so so much to Vida.
