Staying at Evelyn's house was a beautiful lesson in interior design! My son and his girlfriend who are two architects were quite impressed with the furniture as well as with the house decoration .Many of the furnishings " had been on display at the Design Week in Milan , Italy .The laundromat was right around the corner and the subway was only short walking distance. The whole atmosphere was what you would expect from the magic of a Brooklyn - Caroll Garden's neighborhood.
