Myself, my husband and brother were in town for a week to visit my sister graduating from college so we aren't exactly tourists and very familiar with the neighborhood. The apartment is as described, except for the picture of the outside, guests only have access to the front steps. The private entrance is nice. If there are more than 3 adults, it would be very crowded. Large clean grocery store at the corner is convenient, lots of organic and healthy choices. I read many of the other reviews, not sure how other reviewers got the warm and fuzzy feeling from the host, we did not receive that sort of welcome. Oh well I guess, everyone has bad days. Over all it was worth it, I would prefer an apartment in Bed-Sty over a crazy high rise hotel in the city any day of the week.
