The apartment is right in the heart of BedStuy, a vibrant and cosy neighborhood at the same time that feels like a village surrounded by Brooklyn rushing. It is perfectly quiet although neighbours roam streets and sit on stoops half the night. Linda and her family are very considerate hosts who take care of every need and would wait (as in my case) till 11 pm for guests to arrive. Being only a 7-minute-walk from the Metro, Manhattan can be reached in less than 30 minutes. Staying in that original brownstone is a special and remarkable experience and I would recommend that strongly.
