A cozy Place with an excellent host - very communicative, excellent service. For example, offering to install another air condition because of weather forecast (hot!) was super nice.
It’s a clean(!) apartment with a small backyard, which could need some helping hand in terms of gardening 👨‍🌾😉
The BedStuy neighborhood is definitely not 5th Avenue (luckily), but never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Actually, people are pretty relaxed and friendly. The nearby football (aka soccer) playground is a nice spot on weekends when several different ethnicities playing tournaments.
Subway stations to Downtown Manhattan or Queens are a 10-15 minutes walk away - I personally preferred J-Train as it goes overground and crosses Manhattan Bridge providing some nice views.
There are some Delis around. Didn’t try out some nearby restaurants but there are also some fast food spots.
Thank you Vika & Joshua for the enjoying time!
