Had a great stay in New York in this characterful brownstone in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Very good instructions on getting to the house on arrival (arrived in the evening, NB actual entrance quite unobtrusive, with ivy over one side). Tippy also kindly sorted out cab booking back to the airport on departure. Excellent transport links once there make this an excellent base from which to explore Manhattan and Brooklyn. Was so busy doing this I didn't get time to talk enough to Tippy, which was clearly my loss. Ah well, there's always next time, would be delighted to stay there again.
