New York Accommodation - 1 Bedroom Rental in Bedford Stuyvesant (NY-14321)

Excellent stay in this vacation rental where we felt very comfortable and what can I say about the owner: adorable, so I highly recommend it.

The apartment is located in a quiet, pleasant street, close to shops (large organic grocery store one block away) and to the subway. Its strong points are its old-fashioned charm, the space and the charming terrace. The bedding is of very high quality. It's a very pleasant place to stay.
The only (small) negative points are the lack of shelves around the sink and on the edge of the bathtub in the bathroom ( no place to put shower gel or soap) and the lack of closet space for clothes (there's only one closet). But of course this doesn't spoil the trip at all. It's just a tiny possibility for improvement.

Hello, for information, the owner had made a mistake in the reservation and we had the apartment on the floor above and not the one initially booked. It provided adequate comfort but we noticed the lack of maintenance of the apartment (defective wooden shutters, hole in the floor, cleaning done but not thoroughly). The owner welcomed us well and was available and helpful when needed. We had a pleasant stay, the area was nice and close to transportation.

Our stay went very well. the apartment is located in a typical Brooklyn street, it's a complete change of scenery! The subway station is close to the apartment.
To make everyday life easier, we found a supermarket a stone's throw away.
Nathalie's accommodation is very welcoming, we felt at home!
The bedding is comfortable.
It's really good value for money.
We highly recommend this vacation rental.

The main point: its excellent location, only just 10 minutes away from Kingston-Throop subway, a quiet street with the charm of beautiful Brownstones; very easily accessible -four blocks- from JFK via Howard Beach (airtrain and subway)
close to Dumbo and Lower Manhattan; you can get food supplies on the popular Fulton Street; then, the apartment itself is full of charm, double-sided, bright, has a very warm atmosphere with its fireplaces and wooden frames, and its decoration;
the judicious layout allowed not to get in one another's way: we were traveling with our teenage grandchildren who were sleeping in the sitting room on the street side, we were in the bedroom with the kitchen and the dining area in-between... ideal.
Vintage bathroom with heavy sanitary from the 40's, a lot of charm there again... even if the shower could have been a little larger; this vacation rental played an essential part in our six-night stay and helped make it unforgettable.
I nearly forgot, the bedroom looks out onto a terrace which the beautiful, cold weather unfortunately didn't allow us to enjoy!

Pros: The apartment is beautiful, very clean and comfortable for 4 people. The closest subway station is just 4 blocks away and there are grocery shops nearby.
Even though it was cold, it has good heating.
Very well equipped with kitchen utensils.
Nathalie -the landlady- was very nice.
Safe and quiet neighborhood at night.
Cons:
The building is over 100 years old and although it's beautiful, it requires some refurbishments which are not urgent for now as they don't affect the quality of the stay.
You can sometimes get the feeling that the subway station is a bit far.
The floors creak a lot and footsteps can be heard.

We felt completely at ease in the apartment which is comfortable, warm and bright. For my first time in New York, I enjoyed being in a "normal" Brooklyn neighborhood, which is great by the way. Easy transportation in all directions. Thanks to Nathalie for all this.

Very tastefully furnished apartment with charm and a really friendly, helpful landlady. The apartment was very clean and tidy, and is well-equipped - ideal for a family of 4. Also very good, direct subway connection available. It's a very quiet and safe neighborhood; the building, however, is not very soundproof due to its lightweight construction. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and had a good time. For our next visit to New York we'll definitely book this apartment again.

A bit far from downtown Close to subway station Good value for money

We spent a week in this very comfortable and charming apartment. The terrace is an undeniable asset to relax in the evening. The neighborhood is very quiet. The landlady is really thoughtful, responsive and discreet at once. We thank her for contributing to the success of this family trip with our 2 teenagers. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, we also enjoyed being able to close the shutters, which is not always the case in the United States.

We will come back with great pleasure in this apartment for a longer stay as nothing is missing!

Our stay was delightful, we could had found a better place. It's so close to everything.... We had like 5 groceries stores around, the subway was like 2 books away, location is everything and you have it.

The place it's so comfy, I didn't wanted to leave. It's warm and it has everything for a perfect stay. Since we got there, it shined because of it cleanness, organization and comfort. You have there everything you might need, there is also some spices, sugar, tomato sauce... you or old visitors left for the following ones, thanks!

It's a very quiet neighbor and house.... There are kids downstairs and we really never heard any noise or scream.

This place is a home away from home... I will definitely go back and recommend this place to all my friends!

Thanks!

We greatly appreciated the hostess' hospitality, kindness and helpfulness. The accommodation is spacious, light, tastefully decorated and central (a 5 min walk to the subway) whilst in a quiet location. It is equipped with all necessary utensils, nothing is missing (it's like being at home).

The bedding and the sheets are remarkably comfortable (which is rather rare). The big terrace is a godsend, it is a bonus as well as a selection criterion.

Great, cozy apartment: very well decorated. Not far from metro stop but this latter is a bit of a far ride to Manhattan (20min+). The neighborhood is slowly gentrifying (good wine shop around the corner) but opportunities for groceries and restaurant are limited. It's certainly an interesting time for staying in this area of town, way far as posh as Brooklyn Heights, which makes it a more accessible destination.

Apartment well refurbished that kept its antique character with several original items: brick wall, parquet, molding, inner shutters, tub and faucets: attractive apartment. Spacious and well laid out: perfect for a family with 2 children (1 double bed, 2 single beds). Comfortable bedding.

Quiet area of Brooklyn, several grocery stores open late at night. Special thanks to the owner (French) who cares a lot about the well being of her guests. Good value for the price.

It is an excellent place for a "different" stay in New York (and Brooklyn) that we will recommend to all our friends and other travelers.

You will soon feel home in this lovely early 20th century neighborhood, both quiet and spaced out. The silence was only disturbed by the jingling from ice cream trucks, and, more rarely, the fire engine sirens (We need them! Fire station with superb red engines two blocks away).

The subway (station is a 10-minute walk away) allows you to reach the center of Manhattan in 30 min, the center of Brooklyn in 10 min; it is even easier with buses that will take you very quickly to Brooklyn Bridge, among other places, or even to the airport (direct line was discontinued).

The apartment: spacious, bright, well equipped as shown in the photos (not clearly enough). You quickly feel very comfortable - probably also because of all the care and attention brought by the owners when they renovated it.

We also have mention the accommodation owner's warm and discreet welcome. She speaks French, which made quite a few things easier for us; she's also always available to give all the needed guidelines to help you settle smoothly.

So, this is an excellent place to make the most of New York and Brooklyn and to find yourself, at night, all snug in your home with your family or friends.

Greatly satisfied after 8 nights spent in this nice vacation rental, it is well appointed and very comfortable, a little off Manhattan hustle and bustle. Subway and shops nearby, very pleasant terrace.
