My son and I came to NYC for a 5 day trip. We LOVED staying at Irene's place. It was cozy yet stylish with all the comforts you need. Irene left many nice treats as well as the staples like tea and coffee. We really liked the neighbourhood and our best eating experiences were in the local restaurants (Chez Oskar, Manny's, Emeline's). Our Bed-Stuy experience was perfect. We would definitely recommend Irene's place to other travellers.
