The apartment is great, better than a four star hotel. The neighborhood is quiet, though on school days there are a lot of cars honking really loud for like 15 minutes between 7.20 and 7.35, so if you like to sleep in you should take earplugs. But who would want to sleep in while visiting NY?
Robin and Bob were perfect hosts, very polite; they answered our questions really fast. The kitchen is very complete. You can easily cook lots of meals.
Bed-Stuy is a working-class area that's quickly becoming gentrified. The subway is really close and within a 20 minute ride you are in Lower Manhattan, 30-40 to Midtown/Upper West. There's a couple of nice restaurants around, but don't expect night life: it's a residential area. If you are
a fan of going out, maybe you should search nearer Williamsburg or in the city, but you won't be able to match the price and quality of this apartment.
Overall, we had a great stay. Extra points for the decoration, very hip and cool, with quality furniture, and the great choice of books they have. It made our trip. Also, they offer Netflix, Hulu and other streaming services. I highly recommend it.
