Had a nice stay on the whole at Angelina's spacious, comfortable and very pleasant flat in Park Slope. Every amenity was available, the bed was a comfortable double and the kitchen was a great space work in, i.e. prepare meals in ! The only snafus I had were ... on the first day I went out and found that my key to the internal (second) front door didn't work. Luckily one of the children arrived soon after and let us in, to my great relief. Angelina's husband then came out and realised that the key indeed didn't work (no one had tested it obviously), so we agreed that no one would lock it from then on (my stay was for a whole week). That same night I couldn't get to sleep because I could hear thumping base notes though my bed – and I had to get up early for work the next morning. I thought they would stop by 1:30 am, but I finally had to call Angelina telling her my predicament. She apologized and it didn't happen again the following nights.
However, an ongoing issue was the construction noise next door, especially between 7:30 and 9 in the morning (during the day it was more intermittent). The nextdoor building was/is completely gutted and being rebuilt. The noise was both hammering and drilling (not a street drill, but more like a base note on an organ) – it sounded pretty loud and effectively woke me up (too early) every morning (my own work was just Sat. and Sunday). I realize that this was unavoidable, and Angelina was kind enough to give me a small refund on my payment for the inconvenience. There's no way to know how long the building reconstruction will last, but I hope it's sooner rather than later for everyone's sake. I would stay at Angelina's again in a heartbeat if I knew that next door was in its completion stages.
