Peter's apartment was in a great part of Brooklyn, near beautiful Prospect Park, lively, lots of shops, local cafes, friendly people, 4 min walk to the F train on 7th Avenue 9th St. Very lovely brownstones in the surrounding streets. There is a great little diner right on the corner a few steps from his door where we ate several times. The apartment is colourful with lots of interest and art on the walls.
It was a bit cramped for two adults and two teenagers, it would better suit a couple. We had an issue on arrival as it appears no one comes in to clean between guests. There was not enough linen or towels for our use and the bed was not made. We had to take a load to the launderette. ( Actually great dry cleaners across 7th Avenue who wash dry and fold for $1 per pound) Peter, when we managed to contact him was very apologetic and deducted our cleaning fee and first night. The kitchen is not too welcoming to cook in but I think the location makes up for these minus points.....and the friendly diner is just on the corner!
