Ben's place was great - It's in Bed Stuy located a short 10 minutes from Kingston Throop Subway (C Train) which takes around 20 minutes to get into Manhattan. The area can seem a little "dodgy" at times but just like in any big city, best to be street smart. The apartment was a little smaller than I had anticipated but it was perfect for a short break for the 3 of us. It would be a bit of a squeeze had there been an extra person. All in all, a great place to stay for the price. Ben was very helpful throughout as well.
