This is a gem in Park Slope!! I stayed 8 nights in Helen’s & Alfred’s garden apartment. Helen greeted me upon arrival and showed me all I needed to know and she was always on hand if I had any questions or wanted advice as to what to see. There were delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies welcoming me. Coffee, tea, sugar, milk, orange juice, butter and jam were all supplied and much appreciated.
I was travelling alone and this apartment is spacious. You walk directly into the livingroom which is cosy. There is a large bookcase with enough good titles if you want a read. From the livingroom you are in the kitchen which has everything you need if you are planning to cook which I did. The bathroom has a tub and shower and Helen provides lovely showerwash and shampoo. The kitchen leads to the elevated bed area which overlooks the garden. The bed is sooooo comfortable. I slept well every evening and woke up to the early morning birdsong.
Just a short walk up the street is Prospect Park which is a beautiful retreat after a day sightseeing. I went running most mornings. It is a great atmosphere in the park and you maybe lucky enough to see a raccoon! I kid you not.
The subways are a short distance from the apartment which take you in no time to Manhatten.
I highly recommeend Helen’s and Alfred’s apartment and can’t wait to return myself.
