Kestrel's home was a perfect place for our needs in NYC. The home was clean, common spaces were air conditioned and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with any items we needed for cooking. We were there during a bit of a heatwave and the bedroom was not air conditioned, but the fan helped a lot. The area was great, a bit of noise outside at night but nothing terrible. The subway was a short walk away and shops nearby made it an easy location to stay in. While we didn't meet Kestrel she was very communicative prior to our arrival and checked in with us during our stay. Thanks for the visit Kestrel!
