Deirdre is an excellent host - communication with her was always clear and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay in New York and the rooms are reasonably priced with easy subway access to Manhattan and to JFK airport via the A train from Nostrand Avenue station.
Bedford-Stuyvesant, as an area, is up-and-coming. The brownstone houses and other architecture are really ornate and fascinating and Tompkins Avenue has some interesting eateries too.
However the area directly around the A train station at Nostrand Avenue is definitely gritty and we, as UK visitors, were not quite prepared for it.
The apartment has 2 really good sized rooms with double beds and one room with a single.
This worked well for us as a family of 4 with two grown-up children.
The two kitchens are well set up and we ate breakfast at home every day. You can get whatever you need from the very well-stocked supermarket on Tompkins Ave about 2 minutes walk away. You could quite happily cook main meals here although we didn't.
We'd like to thank Deirdre for a great stay.
