Recommended; I wanted to get to know "the other New York" and picked a random address in Brooklyn, close to a citi bike docking station of course :)
The studio is exactly as advertised, the host Joel is super-friendly and (off-topic) likes good music! Ask him about nice bars and places to go, he loves to share. In one word: Recommended.
Bedstuy (Bedford-Stuyvesant); I loved the neighborhood. Varying from run down areas through fully gentrified streets. Almost everywhere smiling people, most of them ready for a short exchange and sometimes a joke. What a difference from Manhattan...
For breakfast coffee & a bite go four blocks down to 616 Halsey. Never a dull moment at Zabka where they serve great coffee with home cooked goodies.
Conclusion: when you've seen Manhattan, go & explore Brooklyn!
