I visited NYC with my boyfriend and we chose Thomas' and Terry's place to stay.
Bed-Stuy is a good choice as it is close to all the Brooklyn attractions and also close to the subway which brings you to Manhattan.
The place was nice and clean as in the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped. The hosts are so nice, we felt welcome and loved our stay.
I needed earplugs for sleeping because I wake up very easy and as it is hot in summer, we had the air conditioning on at night which is a little loud for sensitive people. But with earplugs it works out just fine. Recommended!
