As it turned our Diana and her husband were away, and their neighbor greeted me. She was pleasant and showed me to my room, which was appointed as shown in the picture. Early the next day, I met Diana's daughter and she was delightful. If you choose to stay in Diana's place, I found it more convenient to take the 3 train out of Penn Station to the Barclay's Center and walk along 5th Ave to 1st Street. It's fun walk.

The bed was surprisingly comfortable, the street quiet and the ceiling fan does it's job silently throughout the night. The rules of the house are few and pretty simple to follow.

Aside from my two short interactions with my sit-in host and Diana's daughter, I had no other interaction, which suited me.

At some point or another, I recall having a hard time believing I was in NY. Brooklyn is eclectic, not perhaps as eclectic as it once was, but it has enough local color to still be interesting. If you enjoy bourbon there is a wonderful bar around the corner on 5th called Pork Slope. The best selection on bourbon I have come upon in a long, long time.

One word of warning, Park Slope is not a slope, it's a hill...many, many hills, most of which are is inundated with more baby carriages per square foot than any place on earth. This is not exaggeration, I have never seen so many baby carriages being pushed by nannies, housekeepers, mothers juggling yoga mats, cell phones, dogs on leashes and, of course, some wildly expensive baby carriage.
