If you want authenticity about where you stay, then The Duplex Suite is ideal. In the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, you are within walking distance of Deli’s, bus routes and subway stations. A brownstone with masses of character and exactly as the pictures show, you will feel at home right away. Kila, the host, was warm, welcoming and professional. She is discreet, and you don’t always realise that she lives there as she gives you your space to do your own thing. She made her house our home for 7 days...and we felt we were staying with ‘friends’ rather than a host. Oh...and we can’t forget Egypt, the cutest ball of fluff that loves her tummy tickled!
