Elien’s apartment is spacious by New York standards and nicely decorated. Additionally the 12’ ceilings and large windows add to the ambience. Everything you need as a guest is there, whether you want to cook or eat out. The building is secure, has quiet residents, hallways and elevators. The subway is one block away, grocery store on the corner. We had bacon egg and cheese bagels for breakfast from the family owned bodega on the corner of Taaffe and Willoughby, Brooklyn Kolches are always great, Mikes Diner is a must, buy a slice at Tony’s Pizza, try Speedy Romeos, & restaurants that are on Dekalb or Myrtle. We especially enjoy walking on Willoughby to Fort Greene Park as part of the way is pedestrian only, walking thru Pratt Art Institute grounds is always pleasant. You can really feel at home here. Thanks Elien!
