Sharon and Dave's garden apartment was exactly as pictured. Myself and my coworker rented the space for three nights for a work trip visiting customers in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The area was perfectly central - a half block from the subway. It made getting in and out of Manhattan quite easy. It is also a block and a half from Prospect Park - my coworker and I took a lovely stroll around the park one morning before meetings.
Sharon and Dave also put together a great list of suggestions for local restaurants, all within walking distance. We tried two and they were perfect - Bagel Hole's bagels are not to be missed!
As for the apartment - it felt safe and cozy. There are a series of three doors for entry for those who are more security conscious. The neighborhood itself though felt more than safe - we walked around from the subway into the wee hours of the night/early morning and never felt anything but at ease.
The sofa folds down into a firm futon sleeper - about the size of a double bed. Sharon put out additional linens for the bed as well and my coworker made a nice bed on this during the visit. I slept in the enormous master bed and slept very soundly.
The bathroom is well sized and clean and new feeling. Sharon had pro odds all the basics - body wash, towels, soap. There was even a fan in the bedroom which I loved - I sleep with one at home for white noise. She also provided an iron at my request.
All in all, the apartment is a fantastic value. I know when you visit NY you think you must stay in Manhattan but I do urge anyone looking for a well priced and well appointed Airbnb to consider this Park Slope home. It's a snap to get into the city via Subway and its hands down better than any hotel I have used for work purposes in Manhattan to date.
