Mercedes' apartment is very large and looks just like the photos. There's a great place for coffee just half a block away and the A&C lines are only a 10-minutes walk. Bed Stuy is a bit far for regular travel into the city, but for the location the apartment is great. Perhaps because no one lives there regularly, there wasn't much in terms of cooking supplies (oil) and there was just a sliver of soap in the bathroom. All minor inconveniences that are easily solved, but usually I find AirB&Bs to be a little better stocked (but not always!)
