Jacqui is a lovely host who made us feel comfortable and helped us out anyway that she could. Jacqui really made us feel that her home was our home and we felt relaxed the whole time we were there, which ended up being a little over a month all up!
Some people we spoke to before and during our stay said they thought Bedstuy was a dangerous area but this is not true! The neighbourhood is friendly and we never had any problems whatsoever, even walking home at 4am in the morning after a night out. The trains are the best! We didn't encounter any problems on the G line. It usually took 25 minutes or so to get to Union Square from Bedford Nostrand and it's so easy to navigate. My friend Gen and I would stay here again but perhaps it would be worth renting out the larger room as we found staying in the guest room for nearly a month a bit tight, this was only through fault of our own due to the amount of shopping we did! We also had large suitcases but Jacqui is so easy going so we could spread out throughout the whole apartment which we were so grateful for!
We also enjoyed an amazing home cooked meal and met her friends who are hilarious! Also, even if you aren't a cat lover, you will be by the time you leave! Jacqui has a beautiful cat called Zoe who we fell in love with. My friend Gen normally has allergies but had no problem with Zoe at all.
We loved staying with Jacqui and only wish we got to spend more time with her! Luckily we have the rest of the year in NYC to catch up :)
