We had a wonderful time staying at Joni and Carsten's basement apartment in Bed-Sty! The apartment is beautiful and is in mint condition.
The back patio area out our back door is also quite nice.

The private entrance with a coded key lock box on the door is a wonderful idea. We were able to come and go easily on our frequent outings while in New York.

The neighborhood is quite attractive and one could tell there is a revitalizing of these older homes by the current residents. We had some nice conversations with the locals on the block and felt very welcome during our stay.

I have sent links to friends and family here in Texas to give consideration to staying at an airbnb location when in NYC. The price was very reasonable and the comfort level for our stay was exceptional.
