Wonderful stay in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
Submitted: September 23, 2008
Stayed: 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.

Great Stay with Girlfriends
Submitted: October 10, 2012
Stayed: October 2012
We were a group of six women coming from all over the US for a girlfriends weekend. Macon Manor was perfect for us. We each had a comfy place to sleep, the apartment was clean, and we were pleasantly surprised with how safe & quiet the neighborhood was. The owner gave excellent advice about the neighborhood. We ate at Saraghina (twice!) and Peaches for brunch. Super yum! We came & went via private car as well as subway-- both very easy to do. If I were to come to NYC with my family (husband and three young kids), I would make my reservations around vacancies at Macon Manor. The value is exceptional.

Not much more that I can add to the other reviews. This place was PERFECT! True was out front when we arrived, and came upstairs to check us in, then spent at least 20 minutes giving us an excellent tour "primer" on the area and how to get around, plus great recommendations for what to do during our stay. The appartment was exceptionally clean, and we slept so well every night with hardly a sound from the quiet, nice street outside. The children loved all the great books and toys and of course the bunk beds. The appartment is an easy, relaxing walk to the Utica Street subway station about a 10 minute (leisurely) walk away, and only 20 minute ride to Times Square. We also enjoyed going out to Coney Island and Brighton Beach, which are just one train switch away. Will definitely be staying here the next time we return!

WOW - Fabulous week in Brooklyn

Thank you True! Our party of 7 (which included 4 kids) all had a fantastic time while we were in New York March 13-18th. True offered great advice on sites to see with the kids, how to best get around and great places to eat! We loved the neighbourhood - especially the Therapy Wine Bar :) Our accomodations were clean, and safe and was a nice retreat at the end of busy day of sites and shopping. We would definitely return to the Macon Manor on our next trip to NY.

I treated my grandchildren, and 2 others to a long weekend in the City. We rented this wonderful place from True. The space was perfect for accommodating the 6 of us, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of individual privacy when needed; the kitchen and supplies were perfect for us; and the spacious bathroom a delightful surprise. It worked perfect for those of us who get up at different times in the morning so we could enjoy breakfasts and sometimes evening meals here at the apartment. The train was a short walk away and we quickly connected to downtown/midtown/uptown Manhattan as needed. There are plenty of options for groceries and great restaurants nearby. We'll be going back! True is also very welcoming and helpful - he is the best! I highly recommend you consider this as a first choice when going to New York.

A Great app near Manhatten

our family of 4 enjoyed the stay at this apartment. The neighborhood was nice and a true new york look all over it. TRUE the owner provided great help and was there when ever needed extra help. the app it self have all what you need from kitchen stuff to personal care things. although the weather was little cold but the heating system was great keeping the appt at decent temperature.
the location is so great, restaurants and deli are near by. Subway was really close with 24 hr line. so no matter how late you are you always get to get off subway just couple of blocks from the appt.

We are a band from cailfornia that were looking for a place to stay. I came across this apartment and immediately i wanted to know more. Keep in mind we are a band and we are carrying our guitars as we walk back and fourth to the subway to our venue. We had no problems with the neighborhood at all. and we were getting back very late. The neighborhood is very quiet! The apartment was just right! The description was accurate, the apartment was clean and door was opened for us to come in. I will definately recommend it to friends and famiy or anyone who is interested in visiting NYC
Thanks for having us there!

Great Stay at Macon Manor
Submitted: August 26, 2011
Stayed: August 2011
The listing was accurate - spacious, clean, bright, and quiet. Our family of 4 - including 2 teenagers- was very pleased and comfortable. The owner provided thoughtful extras like current guidebooks, DVDs, plenty of pillows and blankets, personal care supplies, and even spices and teas. He also took the time to give us some sightseeing tips that were tailored to our requests. The neighborhood is safe and well-kept; the subway about 6 blocks away provides a short trip to Manhattan. Street parking is no problem. For a meal in- Roccos pizza and other dishes were inexpensive, delicious, and generous in size. The only surprise was the extent of the 'housing segregration' in NY- a commentary on our world, but no affect on our stay. We would definitely come here again and would spend more time in Brooklyn.
