Our family of five was planning to stay in Manhattan during our four-day trip to NY, but a friend suggested to try Brooklyn instead and we don't regret it! The area is quiet and friendly, has many cool restaurants and bars, and has a lot of attractions as well. Although downtown Manhattan is only 20 minutes away there are plenty of things to see and explore in the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant - which is a perfectly safe area to walk around in.

The apartment was spacious and with all the amenities you would need. Assiati and her family are friendly hosts that made us feel welcome. We would really like to come back soon!
