This was my second stay at Michael's apartment and it is truly a home away from home. The apartment itself is well equipped and spacious, with everything a guest could need. Check-in was easy and from then on the place is really your own.

I love the Park Slope area, which is still a wonderful mix of real world and hipster Brooklyn. There are tons of restaurants nearby, as well as a number of good supermarkets ranging from "normal" to "serving every nutritional oddity under the sun". It's a 10-15 minute walk to Prospect Park, where one can do a relatively easy 5k in the morning or just have a lazy picnic. Don't miss the food truck village that pops up there on Sundays.

Manhattan is a short subway ride away, made even easier by the fact that Atlantic/Barclays Centre, the Brooklyn subway stop with seemingly the best connections, is only a five minute walk away.

Michael and his wife are the perfect hosts, they even brought me back some produce from the farmers market one Saturday. In exchange I broke their ice cube tray and forgot to tell them (sorryyyyy! Will be replaced next time). All in all I loved it once again and am already planning my return visit next year.
