We stayed at the Green Guest House for 5 nights in May 2011, and had a fantastic experience. Below are my thoughts on some specific aspects of the apartment that I hope you find useful. LOCATION: After having lived in New York for 4 years previously, my partner and I specifically searched for rental properties in Park Slope for our vacation back to NYC because it is a great, walkable neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, bars and entertainment options. We also find that Park Slope has a small-town feel despite being in the largest city in the U.S. The location of the Green Guest House is on a safe street where we felt very comfortable walking, even late in the evening. It is about 3-4 blocks (a 5 minute walk) from the nearest subway station at “4th and 9th” where you can catch the F train or the R train to Manhattan (~15-minute ride to Downtown Manhattan) or the G train to other cool Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Carroll Gardens and Williamsburg. Some of our favorite nearby attractions that you can walk to in 10 minutes or less from the Green Guest House include Prospect Park, 12th Street Bar for drinks and darts, Blue Ribbon Steak House, the Park Slope Food Co-Op (largest food co-op in the U.S. with >26,000 members), Perch for an awesome breakfast and Union Hall for drinks and Bocce Ball. APARTMENT: The apartment is AMAZING by New York standards. It is a second-floor walk-up on the back side of the building and overlooks the backyards of the houses on 12th and 11th streets – as a result this is a very quiet unit with no street noise. The apartment was very clean, and the décor/furniture is pleasant and appropriate. There is plenty of space for two people – if staying with more than two people, the alcove/bedroom has nice, heavy drapes that can be pulled across the walkway to the living room to allow for some privacy. The kitchen is huge by New York standards. It is nicely re-done and is fully stocked with dishes, plates, glasses, etc. and other utensils needed for cooking in the apartment. In addition, a number of condiments and coffees are available for guests’ perusal. The bathroom is small (only comfortable for one person at a time), but clean and has a full bathtub and shower with good water pressure. There is TV with cable and an a computer with an internet connection in the unit for guests to use. Dani has also put together a binder full of take out menus for nearby restaurants. HOSTS: Dani and her family were great hosts. When we made our reservation a couple of months before our trip, Dani contacted me within 24 hours to make arrangements for our arrival. She also contacted me again a couple of days before our arrival to confirm our plans and was available and responsive when we notified her of our travel delays. When we arrived, Dani met...
