Me and two other co-workers of mine lived here for 2 months before we abruptly had to end our stay due to COVID-19.
Alex's place was everything we could ask for. It was spacious, clean, and cozy. You could definitely tell that Alex took great care of the place.
The bedrooms are very spacious and face east, so by 10.a.m the rooms are filled with sunlight (which is great for morning people). The beds are a little noisy, so if you move around a lot in your sleep like me be prepared for that. The bedrooms also equipped with closets and drawers to put your stuff in (I had three suitcases worth of things and they all fit nicely).
The bathroom is clean, and the water pressure in the shower is nice
The kitchen is also clean, and is equipped with your standard cooking utensils (which are clean). Make sure to turn on both vents before cooking or else you will trigger the fire alarm.
The living/dining room is equipped with a sofa that turns into a bed, a work station, and a TV that's equipped with Netflix. Perfect place to relax and chill after a long day of work/ being out.
Finally, the location is PERFECT. Where do I start?
- You're a 7 minute walk away from the A/C line which will get you to Manhattan in 20 minutes
- There are a ton of food places nearby (I recommend Zabka Coffee, The Pattie Hut, and Corner Grind)
- There are delis on every block
- There's even a bar down the street that's a great place to hangout with your travel buddies (Shout out to Corners).
- I think most of all, my favorite part about this neighborhood is the people. Everyone we've met in Bed-Stuy is friendly and are good people. It really feels like you're a part of the community here.
Overall, our stay with Alex was great. Anyone who is going to stay at this place is very, very lucky. Thank you Alex for hosting us!
