We had a wonderful time at Shanda’s. The apartment was spacious and very clean. The neighborhood has plenty of tasty places for breakfast. We spent a few days at the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Library and the Botanical Garden in Prospect Park. One of our reasons for coming was to see the Japanese Cherry Tree blossoms and we were not disappointed. We timed it perfectly. Subways were about 1/2 mile away for trips to Manhattan.
