The apartment is in a great location at the base of a wonderful old town house in trendy Park Slope area. Its really close to everything including subway direct into Manhattan. I stayed for two weeks in order to attend conferences in Manhattan. It was a highly affordable and comfortable option that enabled me to experience the lifestyle in Park Slope and cook some meals for myself and have a place to relax. The apartment is basement level at the front and garden level at the rear with a door to access the patio from the bedroom. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience NYC on a budget while experiencing the best part of Brooklyn. Alan is a great and easy going host.
