Cathy's place was absolutely perfect. Park Slope is a beautiful neighborhood, and being within walking/running distance from Prospect Park - which was my favorite place to "get away" from the city vibe. Her place is incredibly close to a main subway station which I took daily to DUMBO, Williamsburg, Astoria, Greenpoint, Central Park, Manhattan and Roosevelt Island. A prime location for taking public transit.
The studio fit all my needs. Little fridge, dishes/utensils, microwave, stovetop burner, toaster oven, bath tub, and comfy bed. The backyard was also really cute on a sunny morning. Take advantage of that when you're there, I wish I did that more!
I stayed for four weeks, and it felt like a home away from home. I definitely will be returning to Cathy's the next time I travel out to New York. Thank you for everything, Cathy!
