I stayed at Susan's apartment for a few months in the context of a research stay at NYU. The apartment is nicely decorated, warm and comfortable. The bedroom is bright and spacious. There is some good closet and drawer space as well as a desk in the bedroom. I lived in a very quiet area before moving to NYC and it took me a bit of time to adapt to the noise coming from nearby Flatbush avenue, especially at night. The building is otherwise very quiet. The apartment is within walking distance of downtown Brooklyn (15-20 minutes), Prospect Park (10-15 minutes to northern corner) and Barclays Center (5 minutes). Many train lines stop at the Barclays Center/Atlantic Avenue station, which makes it very easy to go to downtown or midtown Manhattan (10-25 minutes depending on the exact destination). The neighbourhood is safe and pleasant, with plenty of bars, restaurants and other amenities. Susan is friendly, open-minded, clean and quiet. She is very knowledgeable about
the Park Slope area and NYC in general, and is always ready to offer advice. We got
along really well and had a successful and pleasant flatshare experience.
