My family and I went to Brooklyn for a long weekend trip, we chose to stay in Bed Stuy due to the proximity to the local artist we were working with. We did not know a whole lot about the neighborhood and glad we stumbled upon a less touristy, beautiful and full of character part of Brooklyn.
We traveled with a 14-month toddler and that means logistics. Giovanni went above and beyond helping me to arrange a comfortable space for the little one, I shipped the pack-and-play and baby food, Giovanni set-it up for us to ensure it was ready upon arrival. He also made sure we had tons of cozy blankets, there was no shortage of them. :)
Space itself is very accommodating for a group or a family of 4-5 people. New York spaces can be quiet tight, contrary to that, Giovanni's ground-level space in a brownstone building is quite spacious, has a marble counter kitchen with basic kitchen tools you may need during your stay.
Although it rained most days when we were in Brooklyn, we managed to step out and explore the neighborhood and found a couple of awesome dining spots, including LunAtico and Saraghina.
Great place if you wish to branch out and explore the real Brooklyn!
