Stefano is a wonderful host. He met us upon our arrival and offered to help with luggage. He showed us around his clean, comfortable garden apartment. He seems like a very interesting person. The neighborhood is lovely and safe, as well as conveniently nestled between 5th and 6th Ave. Both of these streets have restaurants, shops and markets. The subway access is less than two blocks away. We only had a few days in Park Slope, but we really enjoyed ourselves.
