We spent two weeks at Kilas place in Bed- Stuy and can only recommend it. It's a really nice townhouse in Brooklyn, very spacious and well equipped. The room and private bathroom are clean and look very nice. It's just like on the photos. Kitchen and living room are shared, we used the kitchen a few times in the morning and cooked once for lunch. It also has a lovely porch in the backyard and a garden. We liked sitting there sometimes or having breakfast in the sun.
Kila is an exceptional host, extremely friendly, very open-minded and helpful. She respects the privacy of her guests but was always there for us during our stay if we had a question or needed a tip. She also has great tips for places to go and once even gave us a ride to the Brooklyn Bridge Park as she was about to go there herself. We couldn't have wished for a better host and felt at home.
It's a 15 minutes walk to the metro stations Kingston throw Av and Utica (both A, C lines) or Myrtle (J, Z lines), you can also take the bus there which runs on each corner, what we personally never did as we enjoyed the walk through the neighborhood.
There are a lot of shops, Delis and a supermarket in a 5 minutes distance. The restaurant Saranghinas is really nice (Kila recommended it) and at their bakery we got often a coffee and a croissant or sandwich in the morning. If you ever go to Bushwhack which is also in Brooklyn go to one of the nice Vintage shops and try the restaurant "Sea Wolf", we enjoyed that a lot. Brooklyn Bridge Park is also great, we went there a few times and you can do there a lot of things for free for example watching an outdoor movie with a view of Manhattans skyline.
We had a great stay with Kila and her little dog Egypt. Thanks a lot for having us and all the best!!
