Its solid spot
Former Tenant
Pros:
I’ve been living here for over four months now, and honestly, it’s been exactly what I needed. I work remotely, so a stable, clean, and comfortable environment was non-negotiable. My room is bright, quiet, and came fully furnished—no IKEA nightmares or Craigslist scrambling involved. The Wi-Fi has been consistently strong, which is a must for me since I’m on Zoom all day.
Cons:
One of my neighbors was playing loud music during the day at first, which was a bit disruptive, but after a quick and respectful conversation, it hasn’t been an issue since.

Great Spot for Remote Work
Former Tenant
Pros:
Been working remotely from the Bed-Stuy House for a few months now, and I love it. Solid Wi-Fi, lots of light, and the common areas are super cozy. My roommates are respectful and chill. It’s a great setup if you’re spending a lot of time at home.
Cons:
Not much privacy if you need total quiet during meetings
Occasional noise from shared spaces
