My stay at The Park Slope Treehouse was nothing short of magical. It was like having my own little bohemian paradise in the trees. When sitting by the window you could even see the Manhattan skyline and Freedom Tower from the most perfect little hole in the tree branches. The stairs are no joke, just as Caroline forewarned, but they didn’t phase me at all!
The neighborhood, and building itself, was very safe and quiet. I was traveling alone and had to leave my large luggage down in the lobby for a few minutes while I brought up my purse and carry-on bag, and it was perfectly safe while I did so.
I also really loved how close it was to the 7th Ave subway station — one of the entrances to the station is just outside the door! It was just 2 blocks to Prospect Park, and I actually walked to and through the park to grab some lunch at Smorgasburg on Sunday.
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, but I tend to take advantage of ordering in when I visit New York as the options are pretty much endless. My absolute favorite place I ordered from this time around was Piccoli Trattoria: I had the pappardelle with short rib ragu, the Ravioli di Zucca (butternut squash ravioli with mascarpone sage cream sauce), the tiramisu, and the olive oil cake. I absolutely loved everything, but my true favorite was the ravioli!
Caroline, thanks for being such a great and accommodating host and I hope to stay again in the future if given the opportunity!
