I had a fantastic experience staying in Jacqui's apartment. Although she was out of town during my stay, she was very attentive and accommodating and accessible via text message.

The apartment is gorgeous. Appointed with lovely vintage furnishings and all the touches of home that one would otherwise surely miss at a comparably priced hotel stay. I'm referring to things like candles, a coffee press, extremely high thread-count sheets, Turkish kilim rugs, etc. ;) Quite luxurious, especially considering the price!

The location was great. I travel to NYC often and while I've never stayed in Bed Stuy - this raised a few eyebrows among some less adventurous friends - I loved it and never once felt unsafe in the least. Just a short walk to the Nostrand A and C trains, very convenient public transit commute. There's a deli/bodega downstairs too, in case you need anything.

Moreover, Jacqui's house is located within 2 blocks from 2 excellent culinary estabishments - the Tiny Cup cafe (great espresso drinks and breakfasts), and Do or Dine (kind of an upscale gourmet soul food place that also has a cute bar in back). So you've got your daytime and evening go-to spots if you wanna have meetings nearby.

Highly recommended, would definitely stay again.
