Simply a great place to stay. Nick greeted me on the evening (going out of how way to accommodate my late arrival) and I found fresh coffee and chocolates awaiting my arrival. The local area is beautiful and safe. It is superbly located for transport into Mahahttan and close to a variety of restaurants and bars in the trendy Park Slope area of Brooklyn. The gorgeous Prospect Park is right on the doorstep also. The flat is beautifully decorated and furnished and Nick has included some lovely little touches including maps and guidebooks of the area on the bookshelf. Only things to note would be that Nick's young family live upstairs and can be quite noisy first thing in the morning and it is a basement flat so natural light is limited. So if you're looking for a place for a romantic retreat these factors might be worth considering, but if what you're looking for is a comfortable and convenient bolt hole from which to head out and explore the city then you really can't do much better than this.
