I stayed at Susan’s place for three months during the summer of 2018 and had a really wonderful experience. When I was searching for an apartment for the summer, I was really looking for a place that was close to Prospect Park and Park Slope and was bright and well lit. This apartment was both those things and more.
Pros:
The room has big windows and a ton of natural light, which makes its way into the whole apartment.
Close walking distance to lovely shops and restaurants in Park Slope, and to the park.
Easy waking distance to big stores: Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s.
Close to tons of different subway lines into manhattan.
Clean! The apartment was kept very neat and clean.
Cons:
The bedroom could get pretty loud because a busy road is just outside the window. I slept in earplugs and was never woken up. However, it was a bit annoying at times in the afternoon/evening when a lot of noise was coming through the windows.
Obviously the pros strongly outweigh the cons! Plus, Susan was a warm and friendly host. She sets expectations for her guests, but they are all just about being a conscientious roommate. She was also very accommodating and set up an environment where it was easy to communicate with each other. I highly recommend staying at Susan’s place!
