My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this airbnb in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. The place was clean, comfortable, and felt very private, perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. The neighborhood itself is lovely, with beautiful parks nearby that are great for walks.
The host Kristopher was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay, offering great local recommendations and clear directions whenever I needed.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a cozy, well-located stay in Brooklyn!

This home was perfect. It was as described and very clean. Plenty of towels provided and it was nice to have a washing machine. The kitchen was useful with all necessary appliances. Home was in a great location, train stations are nearby and lots to do in the area. 10/10 recommend.

The place is in a quiet street, the deli down the street is awesome, it’s close to many of the train lines to get you around the city/connect you to where you need to go. Loved the space, it was super pretty and easy to navigate around. Plenty of storage space if you do want to unpack- unless you are four girls with too many clothes but hey that’s on us.
The in house washer dryer is perfect as you can put your clothes on and leave for the day. The aircon was also a nice touch as we did arriving during a heatwave so it was nice to turn on after a sweaty day in the city. I would come back!

Kristopher’s place was our home base for a family vacation to NYC. The space was perfect for our family with room for everyone, and it offered us a quiet place to unwind after a busy day. Two nearby subway stations made it a breeze to get around the city.
Kristopher was on top of everything. He proactively sent us neighborhood recommendations and things to do. He accommodated our travel schedule so we could leave our luggage before the check-in time.
I highly recommend staying here.

My partner, daughter (6), and I loved our stay here. Getting in was super easy in spite of it being very secure (three code-locked doors!); it was walkable to the subway, restaurants, bodegas, and the cutest little park (less than a block away); and it had everything we needed for our stay. The private patio is so lovely and definitely a highlight!
Watch your head on the chandelier at the foot of the bed - it’s solid and hurts if you walk into it 🤕 my own fault.

I had a beautiful stay here. The room is spacious with a pretty antique taste. The neighborhood is quiet and have some good cafés. I appreciate that the owner is friendly and takes care of everything.

Kris was a wonderful host and gave clear, detailed instructions. He answered any questions I had and was overall easy to communicate with. The room was clean and Kris provided plenty of towels and blankets. Thank you for a great stay!

We had a great stay at Kristopher’s place! First, Kristopher is very responsive and super helpful with area recommendations and other info. We greatly appreciated that! The space was clean and cozy and the bed and linens were super comfy. The pull out couch bed worked for our son. They are usually not the most comfortable beds but he was grateful that it didn’t have a bar in the middle. Also, we were very happy with the location. It’s just a quick 10 minute walk to the subway station and the street that the apartment is on is very quiet, which was nice, after the hustle and bustle of the city. We will definitely stay here again when we come to New York! Thank you Kristopher for a great stay!

I really enjoyed my stay at this delightful place. It's beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and within easy walking distance of the subway and several excellent restaurants. And Kristopher was the ideal host: friendly, welcoming, helpful, responsive, and informative. It was a treat to stay here, and I hope to be back!

Only a 5-minute walk from the Halsey stop on the J train, you’ll be in Manhattan in 20 minutes. The A/C line across Fulton street is just a 10-minute walk away. Very close to the neighborhood staple, Bed-Stuy Fish Fry, and beautiful Saratoga Park.
