We felt very fortunate to be in Diana's and her husband's beautiful historic brownstone apartment in the heart of Park Slope. Diana was particularly helpful and responded immediately to any questions we had. It was very kind of her to let us drop our bags off early. The sunny and spacious bedroom is equipped with a small fridge, writing desk, comfortable chair and generous extras such as fruit and bottled water which was much appreciated. The private bathroom was also spacious and contained everything anyone would need. The first floor apartment is situated in a leafy, safe neighbourhood. Around the corner there are numerous eating places, good clothing shops and two large supermarkets.
We enjoyed walking around Brooklyn and discovering the nearby Prospect Park and the Botanical Gardens (free on Tuesdays) as well as the impressive museum and the Grand Army Plaza which looks like the Arc de Triomphe. We walked from the apartment across the famous Brooklyn Bridge and into Manhattan which was great as you get to see other neighbourhoods such as Dumbo with its interesting art bookshops.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and for those that would like a peaceful night's sleep in comfortable surroundings, then we would highly recommend Diana's home.
