We liked the idea of the having the keys in the lock box, so we didn't need to worry about bothering Amy or coordinating our schedules for check-in, particularly if our flight had been delayed. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and uncluttered. It is conveniently on the garden level, so no hauling suitcases up one or more flights of stairs. The location is perfect for us, only about a 5 minute walk to our daughter's apartment. It is located on a quiet, tree-lined street of nice homes, but is close to great restaurants, a comfortable neighborhood pub, Prospect Park, the Park Slope Library, and the subway. The kitchen is modern, large, and well-equipped. Although there is no dining table, we were perfectly comfortable eating at the very large counter on bar stools. The dishwasher is awesome--the quietest dishwasher I have ever seen. I want one! I liked the light wood floors throughout that brightened the apartment and were very clean. I was happy not to have carpeting. We were there 6 nights and plan to stay at Amy's apartment on our future trips to Park Slope.
