We had a marvelous stay at Kestrel's wonderful apartment! It was beautiful, comfortable, and cozy. Kestrel was the perfect host. She was out of town during our visit, but very easy to reach when needed. We absolutely loved the neighborhood. After becoming familiar with the subway map, we were able to easily travel to and from Manhattan and other areas within Brooklyn . We found a few restaurant gems within walking distance. Speedy Romeo's has amazing brick oven pizzas, huge salads, and a nice wine selection. Lucha Lucha is just a short walk down Nostrand and is awesome! We would definitely stay with Kestrel again!
