As you may have read in New York Magazine, Time Out New York, the New York Times, and other such publications, Stuyvesant Heights (the Historic District within the larger Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn) – known worldwide for its magnificent architecture, tree-lined blocks, flourishing community gardens, and as home to such significant cultural figures as Lena Horne, Max Roach, Chris Rock, Eubie Blake, Shirley Chisholm, and countless others – is in the flowering of a new cultural and commercial renaissance. Shops, restaurants, boutiques, galleries and cafés are popping up faster than one can keep up with, and there is an influx of new residents who are turning this historically Black community into a truly diverse enclave of progressive people of all backgrounds. Despite this tremendous transformation, however, it maintains a charm that can be experienced by strolling down one of its many quiet, safe, leafy, beautiful blocks. Manhattan is less than 15 min. away via 'A' Exp

Wonderful stay in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

BQ London, UK
Review Submitted: September 23, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
My wife, her daughter and I stayed at Macon Manor for four days in September 17-21, 2008. We were looking for an apartment in New York for a short family vacation after the WYSTC 2008 Conference and we found Macon Manor in Brooklyn to be the perfect place.

The whole Bedford Stuyvesant area is lovely, especially around Macon Street with all the treed streets and nice brownstone buildings. People are very friendly and much more polite than in London or Paris. The 5-minute walk to and from the Utica Ave subway station, through Fulton Park, is very nice, and my wife was telling me "I felt safer than in the métro in Paris".

True (the apartment owner) recommended the nearby café (Bread Stuy) and restaurant (Peaches Brooklyn), where we had excellent breakfasts and a great dinner on our last evening. Peaches does not have a liquor licence so they sent us to a little wine store a block away, where I found a very good rosé Rioja that went very well with our pork and beef ribs (both cooked to perfection). The service was great, performed by the ever smiling staff.

I highly recommend Macon Manor, very well maintained and nicely furnished by True, who also thought of filling up the fridge with water bottles, and the kitchen with coffee and tea, all very much appreciated on arrival and during our stay (like the numerous books in the living room that taught us the history of the Brooklyn bridge and helped us plan our visits).

The apartment was much better than others we rented in the US or in other countries, and next time I or my family go to New York for work or for a holiday, we'll return to Macon Manor for sure. We'll just book the 3rd floor apartment for a change next time.

Staying at Macon Manor in Brooklyn is a great and much cheaper alternative to any hotel or apartment rental in Manhattan. It gives an easy, safe and fast access to all New York tourist attractions and business districts, while offering the unique and original character of the Bedford Stuyvesant area in Brooklyn.

Comfortable, Clean, Convenient

Jan Down Under Melbourne
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This apartment felt more like staying at a friend's place than in a rental. The weather was a little rainy during our visit, but we were actually content to spend a couple days around the house. There were lots of good movies to watch on DVD (Borat, Napolean Dynamite, Shrek), and books to read (Harry Potter, short stories, Dr. Seuss), toys, games, and coloring books for the kids. We would go for brunch at a nearby restaurant (make sure to visit "Peaches" and "Saraghina"), then take a short walk around the beautiful neighborhood, and then back home for some much-needed quiet time. Of course we also spent a lot of time exploring the city, so much so that we were glad to be able to retreat from it at the end of a long day.

All in all, we felt very comfortable in the space and it had everything we needed to feel at home. The owner was very helpful with info about transportation, local services, etc.

Highly recommended.

Great Place! Better than Manhattan!

Susan and Kim Encino, CA
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had read articles about Brooklyn in various magazines and such, but those articles only scratched the surface. Manhattan is great, of course, but it's also a lot to take in. If we had stayed in some hotel in the city, we probably would've only seen the side of the city that tourists normally see, but staying in an actual neighborhood in Brooklyn was a much more fulfilling experience. We talked to people who have lived here all their lives, and you can sense the pride and love they have for the place they call home.

We spent at least half the time we were here exploring Brooklyn, and everything we wanted to do was relatively close by. The subway was only a few blocks away, but for those times when we felt like pampering ourselves, we called the local car service, which was usually here by the time we got ourselves outside, and the fare (per person) worked out to be the same as a subway ride.

The apartment was great. Having an actual kitchen in which we could prepare meals saved us a lot of money, and there were a lot of guide books and maps to assist us in planning our time here. The wi-fi was helpful too -- we could go online to check the weather, get info about the things we were visiting that day, and even plan our subway routes. The proprietor (True) was great. He was able to answer all our questions and point us towards some great local spots. We will definitely stay here on our next visit.

Incredible Bargain! 1/3 the cost of a hotel!

Utah Jake Provo, Utah
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We are a family of 7 from Provo, Utah. This was our first trip to the "Big Apple." We really didn't know too much about NYC, but when we saw that this apartment was less than 15 minutes from Manhattan (about 12, actually), we figured it made much more sense to stay here over some hotel in the city -- which would've been much more expensive to accommodate all of us. We estimated that we saved over 65% of what we would've paid for 2 rooms in a hotel -- a savings of about $1,800.

We all really, really enjoyed our stay here. We met and spoke with all kinds of people in the neighborhood, and found everyone to be very friendly and genuinely warm. We spent a lot of time at the local coffee house and restaurants. True, the owner, was able to give us a lot of info about where to go and what to do, both here in the area and in the city. We'll stay here next time we come!

Everything was perfect! TRUEly felt like home!

Lu, Annie & Willy Tulsa, OK / Kansas City, MO
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We very much enjoyed our stay. We especially appreciated the small touches, such as the movie selection, the books about Brooklyn, the posted maps, etc. The Apartment was comfortable and clean. We spent most of our visit at Coney Island, as we were performing at the Coney Island Rockabilly Festival Burlesque Show. Coney Island has to be one of my favorite places to stay in the world, a true American Landmark.

New Yorkers are friendly, and proud of their city. There is no one looking down on you for anything that you are. It's humbling.

People's blood, sweat, and tears are the same everywhere, but this city has serious class, and wicked style to boot.

I heart NY, I really do.

Thank you so much.
