Although Kendall had to be at work when we needed to check in, she waited as long as she could and found a safe place to leave the keys for us to pick up. We didn't get to meet Kendall in person, but she was very responsive to all of our questions, a very easygoing host. The apartment is on the first floor of a cool, old-fashioned apartment building. It was quiet and nice and clean with plenty of clean towels. Furniture is comfortable, not fancy. Tons of books! Good internet access, good speakers for your mp3. No TV. The kitchen has a good fridge, stove and oven, but no microwave or coffeemaker. There was some moldy food in the fridge but we just put it on a low shelf and ignored it. The weather was quite hot when we visited and, though there is an air conditioner in the living room, the coolness never quite extended to the other rooms. We visited the juice place Kendall recommended and liked it a lot. We had a car and on our first day we easily found a parking place, but on the second day it was a bit of a stressfest and took nearly an hour driving in ever-widening circles to find a legal spot. There is a subway stop very close by, but if you need to go to other parts of Brooklyn, like Williamsburg, you may have to ride to Manhattan and then head back, and that takes awhile. The beautiful Prospect Park, Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Public Library are close by, don't miss these gems! This part of Flatbush is an interesting neighborhood like you'd never see if you stayed in a hotel. Lots of people of all ages are always out hanging around the courtyard and street, we had some nice interactions with the neighbors. Seems like a family neighborhood.
