Bedford Stuyvesant was great and generally felt safe. It was convenient enough as it was near the subway and didn’t take long to get to Manhattan.
It’s a historic area so don’t expect a modern home. Still cosy and furnished well enough for the price.
Communication was disappointing though. Information about checking in was done via automated messages. I made a query re: storage of baggage since we would arrive at NYC ahead of time but there was no reply at all from the hosts.
TLDR: the home was charming but the hosts weren’t the most personable and communicative. A disappointing aspect to an otherwise nice experience.
