Great location, Park Slope is pretty cool. Very similar to Northern suburbs of Melbourne. Safe with lots of families and kids. 7 min walk to subway. Lots of food and bars south on 5th Ave and then 10 mins stroll north to Prospect Park.
They have a great TV selection for when you need to take a break from the city.
Its your classic Basement Apartment in a street full of lovely brownstones. Everyday was a film set! Modern shower and amenities. There's filter coffee too. NO steps to the apartment, just 2 down steps, which is important for heavy luggage. Laundromat on 5th Ave with service which really helped. Perfect for a one or two person private stay. Brooklyn is very safe for a solo traveler too. Never know who you'll see in Park Slope.
