We spent 9 days at Helen’s place. For us the location was outstanding. We were in town to babysit our 5 year old grandson who lives just down the street. The place itself served us just fine. We felt like we lived in the neighborhood. We were very close to a grocery, pharmacy and the subway, a great bagel shop and many restaurants.
The apartment, while only one bedroom, is a reasonable size. The individual rooms are good size as well, larger than many Brooklyn apartments. The apartment had everything we needed, including air conditioning for several steamy July days when we were there. Everything was clean and convenient. We were able to park right outside the apartment with the exception of one day due to street sweeping when we parked just around the corner.
We did not get to meet Helen due to our conflicting schedules but we communicated quickly and easily by text.
Overall, we recommend Helens place and Windsor Terrace in general. It’s a nice, safe, leafy neighborhood that is convenient to the rest of Brooklyn and to Manhattan. We hope to return ourselves before too long.
