We had a great time. Arrival went smoothly, she emailed us with all the details we needed, and there was someone there to meet us as arranged. The house is two stories on ground and lower ground with multiple lounging areas, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, washing and (great) drying and the rest. This brownstone is a family residence with other family and a guest above. Bertie’s comes with toys and fluffy towels and family pics and decent reading and interesting art. It’s just off 7th Av Brooklyn, Park Slope, which is now trendy but still with artists, small business and characters and local stores, coffee, restaurants and bars. Further afield, it’s a short walk down 7th Av Brooklyn to the F Train and West Village in 30 mins and uptown and connections further on, and that magic of NYC, the Subway, runs past midnight (unlike London, Paris). There’s some trust required here on both sides. Bertie’s generous with her things and the doors are open within the building, but no worries for us. Bertie was also responsive with a few questions. Brooklyn people are friendly and this is family. We felt at home and treated it that way. Thanks to Bertie for a great visit.
