Diana and Joel were very warm and gracious hosts. They even invited us into their living space for cocktails and cheese on our arrival! The property was exactly as described. Guests should be aware that their is a fairly steep stairway to the upper floor where the bedroom is located, in this beautiful 3 story brownstone. A room air conditioner and ceiling fan are available in the bedroom. The neighborhood was fantastic: lots of ethnic restaurants, a superb gelateria and cappuccino cafe, just blocks from Brooklyn's beautiful Prospect Park, and the Barclay Center, where you can get a subway line to virtually anywhere in New York City, as well as enjoy concerts, theater, and dance performances, as well as N.Y. Islander 's hockey. Ist street is tree shaded, and ideal for strolling. The neighborhood is extremely safe, and Park Slope has been rated Brooklyn's finest neighborhood. Check out Pok-Pok restaurant in Cobble Hill for northern Thai food, and Monte's in Gowanus for superb pizza, as well as Bogota Latin Cafe and Stone Park Cafe right on 5th Avenue in Park Slope proper. The accommodations offer laundry facilities and Diana provides a list of recommended restaurants and things to do in the area, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. It's a great walking neighborhood!
