I found a happy temporary home in Brooklyn, near Prospect Park. It was a half-hour to 45-minute subway ride to destinations in Manhattan. But I spent a whole day in Brooklyn itself, a borough where attractions are multiplying. Jeruschka's apartment is just as described. It has a green view. It's quiet and feels safe. Fridge and microwave make it possible to eat in and save money once in a while. The bed is comfortable for one. (It would be very cozy for two.) The subway is a short, pleasant walk. Jeruschka provides thoughtful touches that make a guest feel welcome.
