This was the third time my wife and I stayed in Brooklyn in recent years, and Lily’s garden apartment was the nicest we’ve been in.
It was clean, comfortable (both in accoutrements and temperature for a December visit), and located in one of Brooklyn’s most historic neighborhoods, Park Slope.
I grew up in nearby Flatbush, and Park Slope evoked memories of my childhood neighborhood with mom & pop stores along the major avenues — markets, hardware stores, other retail, bars, restaurants, pizza parlors, bagel shops, pharmacies, thrift stores (we scored some great bargains!) — and quiet residential streets lined with brownstones. It’s the quintessential Brooklyn neighborhood.
Lily’s apartment was beautifully arranged and homey; after a long trip from the West Coast, it offered a welcome and welcoming respite.
We were very happy with the entire Brooklyn experience.
