The hosts were helpful if we had any question about the neighborhood and surrounding areas.

The apartment itself was very nice. Peter took care of many small details such as milk and orange juice and other small amenities. It sort of had a hotel feel to it. Very welcoming. What should be mentioned is that this is the basement of a three level brownstone apartment. We had more of an idea that it would be the main apartment. Peter and his family are above you the entire stay. Although they tried their best to be quiet, in these old historic homes, its tough to keep the noise down from above. Also the bed was terribly uncomfortable.

The neighborhood was pretty nice. Although my friend who is a long time Brooklyn resident and most of our Uber drivers dubbed Bed Stuy the "hood," we found the street to be friendly. We had several conversations with our neighbors. In these brownstone communities the whole neighborhood seems to be aware of even the slightest changes. When night fell my opinion changed a bit. I never used the subways past dark to avoid having to walk home at night.
