Richelle and Pela have created a beautiful home away from home for their guests, and were exceptional hosts from check-in to check-out. Richelle graciously welcomed us - the apartment was exactly as listed, a beautiful brownstone, with comfortable modern touches. Richelle had generously stocked the refrigerator with a large platter of fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt, milk, juice, Italian Sodas, butter, cream cheese, salsa, chips and bagels - we had enough for our entire stay! What a lovely way to say "I care about you" to your guests on arrival. The beds in both bedrooms were very comfortable, and we also used the sofa bed which was very nice as well. The layout of the apartment is very open, yet can be made private by simply closing the beautiful paned doors. With two televisions - one in the master and one in the living room, those who preferred to read or work on other things had a quiet space. The kitchen is simply awesome - so well equipped with excellent appliances and dishes of the highest quality. Thank you for the excellent selection of coffee and tea. The bathroom had a beautiful spa tub, which was gratefully put to good use after a long day of walking. It also had a spacious shower, and again, everything was of high quality. Lovely towels were provided, with extras available in the bedroom closet, together with shampoo, soap and body wash! We were in NYC to celebrate our daughter's graduation from NYU, and after returning to the brownstone after her ceremony, we were surprised and honoured beyond words to find the foyer beautifully decorated by Richelle to celebrate the graduation. A memory made and so appreciated! Richelle and Pela are the real deal - warm, genuine, kind, generous people, we enjoyed our daily chats, they were always available if we needed them. It felt like we stayed the weekend at the home of good friends and for that we will always remember our time at Richelle and Pela's! Bedstuy is a vibrant neighgourhood, with easy access to transit, great restaurants, beautiful brownstones and kind people, a wonderful alternative to Manhattan!
