Robin and Roland's place was great! I was very comfortable during my one month stay with them. Such a cool apartment. The room is spacious. I was able to fit my big luggage, small hand carry, a bunch of bags and a big box inside without having to worry about them getting in my way. There's sufficient closet space for your belongings. The common area is spacious too. I was able to freely use the kitchen, and they were so kind to let me use some of the spices, oils, etc. they had available. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner but it wasn't dirty. It is also shared by people in two other rooms. Walls are a bit thin but not that much of an inconvenience or a problem really.

For someone who spends most of her time in Manhattan (the Upper East Side), the commute to and from Bed Stuy wasn't bad at all. The apartment is a quick walk to the subway. Then it would take about 45-60 minutes to get to the Upper East Side.

Moreover, the area has pretty much everything you need. There are two big groceries nearby and a couple of fast food chains and restaurants.

I would definitely recommend staying at Robin and Roland's place :)
