Neil’s place was awesome! Had everything we needed. Neil was super communicative, check-in was super easy, and he even let us leave our luggage for a few hours after check out since our plane left so late.
Neighborhood was amazing. First night I skated down the street to the store and all the neighbors were out on their stoops cheering me on and saying hello. Incredible sense of community. If you like privacy and solitude this probably isn’t the spot for you. Peaches hothouse was right down the street which was delicious. Subway station was only 5 blocks. Super nice walk, coffee shops on the way and a Nagle’s bagels. Went to a couple different block parties which was a blast, everyone was super friendly and we just danced in the street.
House was great. Great amenities. Really cool having a kitchen. Couch is a little small (I’m a big dude) so we just pulled out the mattress and laid out a ton of blankets that are provided to make it a cozy little hangout next to the A/C.
Overall a really great stay in Bed-Stuy. Not tourist-y at all. Felt safe the whole time. Our favorite thing was all the bodegas on every corner where you can grab a breakfast sandwich, falafel, or hoagie any time day or night. Would stay again!
