It was our first trip to NY and we intentionally chose to stay in Brooklyn because we wanted to come back home to a relaxed environment. We stayed for the entire period of our trip, full fourteen days, and this place literally became our home. We are so glad we took our chances and stay here, because the house, the neighbourhood was all just perfect. It is close to two different lines of subway, the A/C and N, which made it easy to get into both Upper and Lower Manhattan. Its a big African American community in Bed Stuy, which we absolutely loved. Kestrel's home was so dainty, tastefully decorated and very sunny. Our room was so spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Both the bathroom and kitchen were very clean, fully stocked with necessities and towels too. Kestrel was very responsive and helpful, even though she was not in town. Other guests who were using the other bed room were also nice, respectful people. The only thing which we had a little trouble were about getting the keys. There was a slight miscommunication but it was quickly responded to and there were no issues since. Overall, we highly recommend Kestrel's place to anyone who wants to have a little slice of cosy and comfort to come back to.
