Decatur Street Inn - 2 bedroom apt

Teially is a very good host. During our stay she was always very helpful whenever we had a question. The apartment itself was a bit old, and the bedrooms were located towards the street, so by night there was quite some noise. While we were visiting Teially sold the house, and was about to move to newer place, so rather than saying more about this specific apartment we will recommend Teially as a host. She is always positive and helpful!

This apartment is great! Very spacious and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and so was the futon in the living room. The kitchen was perfect-we made breakfast every morning and there are several delis on the block where we bought food at. A couple short blocks to the subway and close to everything. Very quiet by New York standards. We slept well every night. The owners are very helpful and available at all times. Great place! I look forward to staying here again!

great host; the area has nice delis and the appartment is good for being on your own while sharing the house... everything that is not perfect can be sorted out in communication. it is what you want, if you are not going for the lofty Manhattan candy world thing.

Hi, we had a great stay in NY.Teially is a very helpful and great person. She helped us a lot, especially with our lost baggage. Thanks a lot Teially! We really loved to stay in your apt. The neighbourhood is friendly, the nearby deli sells all things you need and the connection downtown is close by. We just loved the place!

A reasonable place to stay if you want to be in Brooklyn. (We did.) Not a lot of sights/sites of interest within walking distance but, again, if you like the idea of walking neighborhoods to see how "the other half" lives this is good. Seniors!!! Spend the time to go to MTA headquarters to get reduced fare cards (free) and you'll have at least half price fares.

Very interesting neighborhood, good advice for walking around! Hospitality and good feeling! (-: Thank's

Teially is very nice and kind, we only saw her one time but she was lovely. Its not a place to party a lot cause there are other guests. A policeman told us it was not that safe in the neighborhood, but we didnt ave a bad experience, when we did the shopping we took alwys a taxi cab because of the policeman comment. Its clean and the beds were nice.

We rented the one bedroom apartment and the 2 bedroom apartment for our party of 5. We all agreed it was much better than staying in a hotel and loved the hipster charm of the building and Bedford Stuyvesant neighbourhood. ROKU box was a great plus too. Truly wonderful restaurants near by: Saraghina and Peaches. Short walk to C or J subway lines (J line is elevated and has great views of Manhattan as you cross the river). Hurricane Irene payed us a visit too during our stay and Ally was a star - taped up windows, provided water, candles and some board games.

It is an old appartment on the second floor and it didn´t look like the the photos that Teia showed on the web. The washbasin was not working, it was completely blocked. There was also a leak from the bath to the first floor. The guest from the first floor came to complain to us and looking for Teia. I think because he couldn´t find her, he got very angry and left the all the appartment doors wide open when we were not there during the whole day. The kitchen wasn´t very clean either, we found a little mouse and a cockroach on the floor, it was disgusting! Alison was nice, she came to meet us and explained how things worked. We didn´t see Teia at all. She had only left us a towel for the whole week. The area is ok and the nearest subway station is Utica (line A). It is true that it wasn´t expensive but she needs to do some work around the house before renting it to anyone.

This was a great place to stay, large and clean. It's very close to the metro and met our needs. Hosts were pleasant, helpful, and available when we needed something. We will most likely stay here again.

Beautiful space, very resposive and gracious host. Would recommend and would stay again!

The host canceled my reservation 77 days before arrival.

Nice quiet area. Apt was nice and comfortable. We were originally just going to be two, however, my cousin wanted to tag along, then his sister also decided to come at the last minute. Teia was so accommodating and wonderful. This lil apartment is a "home away from home". I did miss having regular scheduled tv, but then again, I got to spend 10 days of quality time with my loved ones. I'll be back soon ;)

Great place to stay in NYC. Easy parking, lots of room, good location.

After staying 6 nights in this lovely apartment we can only highly recommend it. Teially and Allison were lovely hosts, very nice and helpful and the apartment is very spacious and light with a little garden outside the windows towards the courtyard. After long nights and days in the city this is the ultimate place to recover and you would hardly find anything similar for this price in the city. The apartment is located a short walking distance to a subway station where you can easily take the A train straight into the city. We didn't explore the surrounding area very much but it's a very charming brownstone area and it felt safe and peaceful during the day, since it was quite dark and not fully illuminated during night we took a taxi home every night for around $20 . We're really glad we found such a super-great place like this!

Clean and comfortable. Tia was friendly and helpful. Good stay and good value.

Beautiful, basic, clean space in Bed-Stuy. We liked that the place was sprayed for bedbugs.Teia & Ally were wonderful hosts. They needed to fix the sink from a previous guest's stay and they were considerate as to when they would do it. Super-friendly. Good area, though the first night we stayed the neighbors were a bit loud past midnight. That's no reflection on the place itself or Tea & Ally, just something to be aware of. Otherwise the area is pretty quiet. Neighbors seem very friendly. Decent places to eat in the area. It's a bit out of the way if you're headed into Manhattan though - about a 45 minute to an hour train drive. Loved the place and will definitely consider it again in our next visit to NYC!

Apartment was roomy, clean and easy to find. Close to subway and convenience stores nearby. Host was friendly, responsive and communicated well.

Very nice appartment, I would recommend it!

Teially is a great host providing excellent communication prior and during the stay. The apartment is fairly nice and as described, it offers a really good value for money option in New York if you don't mind staying outside Manhattan (it is fairly easy to get to via the subway.) The neighbourhood is friendly but fairly noisey. Thanks for helping make my stay in NYC so fantastic!

Teia and Ally are two wonderful,creative and loyal people I ever meet. The Space that they have created is Clean, Comfortable and Relaxing.. A home away from Home. I will highly Recommend this space to someone needing a Place to relax the day of traveling away..
