I enjoyed Kris' place in Bed-Stuy very much. I had a pretty busy itinerary, so when considering airbnbs, I was looking for a home-base to:
1) sleep
2) safely store my stuff
3) easily get to Manhattan, other parts of Brooklyn, and Jamaica/LIRR
Kris' place met those needs and then some. I didn't spend too much time in Bed-Stuy, but I enjoyed the little I did experience. Definitely grab a meal from the fish fry a few blocks away, and 100% get your coffee from Little Skips East. Excellent coffee and really nice baristas (I miss that morning routine already). The J and C subway stations, as well as the citi bike station all made it easy to get around too.
Lastly, Kris is an extremely communicative and gracious host.
