We enjoyed staying at Chao's and exploring Bed Stuy. The room with the private bathroom can't be beat, as well as the quaint neighborhood with neighborhood shops and restaurants. We didn't see much of Chao, because we had a packed schedule, but he was very nice and helpful when we did interact. And if you don't mind cats, Frank is such an awesome cat! He'll even snuggle with you if you let him. :)
