I had always wanted to experience Brooklyn and this was a great place in the "Bed-Stuy" area. It was easy walking distance to everything we needed, and the apartment was comfortable with a great kitchen for when we brought food to spend time relaxing. It wasn't far to catch subways when we ventured down to Coney Island or over to Manhattan. The hosts' suggestions were helpful and they were responsive whenever we needed anything. The cost made a week in New York affordable and staying there was great fun!
