Tom and Brady have an awesome place with a high class hostel feel. It's a brownstone guesthouse, with clean, well decorated rooms, AC, shared clean bathrooms, a self serve breakfast (hardboiled eggs/bagels/oatmeal/cream cheese/fruit/tea/coffee/), a living room and kitchen table to chill and meet other guests, and just an all-round cozy feel.

The location is pure residential Brooklyn, in Bedford-Stuyvesant just south of Bushwick. No tourist feel here, you'll only see locals. It's a 7 min walk to the nearest J line station, and about 12 mins to the nearest M line. From there it will take you generally about 40-50 mins to get into Manhattan. We felt safe walking around the neighbourhood at night, and there some decent places to eat within 10-20 min walking distances. (I suggest Manny's).

Tom and Brady were very welcoming as hosts and kept in touch with us via email in the days before the reservation. Sadly we didn't spend enough time at the home to meet them more than once or twice, but they were always fast to respond when needed.

Definitely recommend staying here.
