We spent five nights at Marni and Josh’s place and could not have done better. We used it as a base to discover Manhattan as well as Brooklyn. Marni was very kind and provided lots of ideas to eat and drink out nearby. She also was very flexible with Check-in and check-Out. The apartment is perfectly located, on the ground floor of an authentic and charming brownstone in a quiet street of Bed-Stuy. It is very spacious and has recently been renovated. It provides a kitchen with all amenities, a big bathroom with tub an d a super comfy bed; both internet and heating work perfectly.
Subway (G train) is only one block away; the A, C and S trains at Franklin Avenue are a 10 minutes walk away and there are also plenty of bus connections to various places in Brooklyn nearby as well (downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park).
The neighborhood is great, safe and really worth discovering, with many good bars, cafes and eateries in walking distance. It is a perfect place if you are looking for something non-touristic, authentic and away from the bustle of Manhattan. We would definitely stay again at Marni and Josh’s place!
