This is a really good place for the price. If you want a taste of what it's like to live in a vibrant, multigenerational, multi-ethnic Brooklyn neighborhood, this place is a good choice for one or two people. Gary's notebook guide to the neighborhood is very helpful with finding places to eat -- although there are MANY options within a short walk. At Gary's recommendation, I got a haircut around the corner at George's Barber Shop and was very pleased with it. The location is great, situated between the business/food streets of 5th and 7th Aves in Park Slope. It's a short walk to the subway, and doesn't take long to get to Manhattan.
