Olivier was a great host. I stayed in his room for the summer during my internship in NYC. Olivier and the roommates were always happy to help if I had any questions about the neighborhood, food, getting around etc. The place itself is great - the room is large by NYC standards and has a good sized bed. It was new and clean, with good water pressure in the bathrooms and a good kitchen for cooking. I would highly recommend if you plan on staying in Bed-Stuy!
