Much better and nicer than a hotel room! We were first timers to NYC, friendly hosts, the apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. It felt recently updated and was a welcome respite after long days traveling around the city. The street and Bed Stuy area are eclectic. It was a true melting pot which we grew to love and appreciate. The description of the place and host's recommendations were helpful and accurate. Proximity to the subway and Lincoln Market were bonuses. We had three adults, the beds were comfortable, sharing the bathroom was no problem. Our 17-year-old had the sofa bed and it was plenty big and comfortable for him. We kept it pulled out and made up as a bed the whole time and used the comfortable chairs next to it for additional seating. Being able to sit out back and have coffee in the garden area in the morning was a huge bonus. We loved Brooklyn and NYC and would definitely stay here again!
