if you are looking for a place to feel home in NY and have an authentic NY's experience this is the place to choose ! Kestrel and Yiannis are great host, the appartememt is very nice, clean and well decorated :-) bed stuy is definitely one of my favorite neighborhood in brooklyn, i stayed 10 weeks and i'd always felt very safe, there is also a lot of commodity in bedstuy. I couldn't imagine a better place to stay in NY!
