Stayed at Joan’s place for one month with our family and 5 children. We had a wonderful time. The park across the street is a HUGE bonus. Great spot for our kids to blow off some steam. Good basketball court, tennis court and playground.
The neighborhood appears safe and secure to us. There are a few bad streets on your way to the Kingstoop Throops metro entrance but overall we never felt threatened or unsafe and we used public transportation every day. We would recommend using Utica Ave Metro stop instead.
The house was a wonderful setup for our crew. Kitchen downstairs was well equipped and we cooked at least one meal per day their. It had everything we needed. The 2nd level master was great for the parents and the additional 3 bedrooms provided plenty of space for our kids.
Joan was super easy to work with. Quick on communication and her house was lovely. Would recommend to others looking for a short or long stay in the Bedstuy area.
