I have a really pleasant time staying at Robin's place in Bed-Stuy. It's really close to the J Train and various buses, so it's easy to get around to Manhattan or Downtown Brooklyn.
Robin is a lovely host, and the room was really comfy and had everything I needed. Also the bathroom was in good condition and cleanly.
Bed-Stuy is a cool neighborhood that shouldn't be overlooked during any trips to NYC or Brooklyn.
