About the apartment:
The apartment was so clean, well appointed and very safe. They say Bed-Stuy, do or die- I have stayed in the area when I was a teen, visiting family. It was not the safest. However! It has changed drastically! This time it was extremely safe and comfortable to stay in the area. We were in the city to exhibit art and were coming back in the wee hours of the morning (4am/5am.) Even intoxicated- we felt safe taking the subway, getting into the apartment and feeling comfy enough to pass out. It was quiet!
The neighbourhood is great too. Families, history, culture. Fantastic delis. Though it's a bit off the beaten path, it felt like we were apart of the community.
About our host:
Kris was such an excellent host.
This was my first time booking an airbnb on my own- and was a little nervous. However, from the beginning Kris was extremely communicative,
kind and accommodating.
We had a little problem with the battery on the keypad- but before we came back home he had it fixed.
We were eating lunch in the yard and he came by, introduced himself and gave us great spots to check out.
We had such a fantastic time. Hopefully next time we're here, we can stay at Kris' bed-stuy brownstone
