Bens place is great! It’s perfectly situated a short 10min stroll to Marcy Avenue Metro station which is really beneficial for tourists like us (we stayed for two weeks!) The area itself is lovely with some nice local bars, eateries and local stores (Mr.Pina near Marcy station did everything anyone could need). The appt building itself when walking in wasn’t the most pleasant at first site, but no one should let this put them off as Ben’s appt when inside is perfectly kept. Ben is absolutely fantastic with replies and extremely tentative. He asked multiple times if we required anything during our stay and his cleaner came round a few times to tidy the place up to our shock haha. We were even allowed to leave our bags early to go off and wander around. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Thanks Ben!
