We enjoyed our time at Helen and Alfred’s! They were great hosts who were very helpful whenever we needed anything (it’s very convenient that they live right above). I used to live in Park Slope- this location is perfect. Absolutely beautiful streets and so close to great restaurants and easily walkable to other awesome neighborhoods. The bed was extremely comfortable. The garden out back is lovely and great for reading. Speaking of reading, their library is wonderful! We had so much fun reading their books. Things to consider: the layout of the apartment is more a loft style than a true one bedroom. Also, the ceiling is pretty low by the bed, if you’re over six foot it might be uncomfortable. The wifi is good for casual use. If you need excellent wifi for work, it might not be fast enough. As with any ground floor apartment in any city, you might see some bugs.
