Pol made me and my family feel very welcome at his house. The living room is spacious and a great place to spend some time with the family in those days you want to rest. It had a cable tv and playstation. We were in 4, couple + 2 kids, so the apartment was perfect. Walk up 2 floors was not an issue for us, although it can be a problem for others. It was hard just with luggage. Park Slope is a great place in Brooklyn. It is very safe and close to Prospect Park. Not a turisty place. You will find only locals around. If you want to go to Manhattan, the house was located a few steps from the subway station (F and G trains), so very convenient to get around NY.
