Helga's apartment was beautiful, spacious, and super convenient. The space is even better than the pictures - very light and cozy with beautiful windows, bountiful bookshelves, and a lovely fire escape stoop to watch the passerbys below from. The apartment is on a lush tree-lined parkway with the convenient Franklin Ave subway station on the same block with the 4 and the 5 train running express to manhattan. Short walk from the Brooklyn Museum, library, botanic gardens, and Prospect Park. Tons of awesome local places for food and groceries - get a yummy juice and vegetarian patty from Veggies Natural Juice Bar on Franklin or take a stroll to Shane's diner on Washington for the best home fries you've ever eaten. Helga was prompt and helpful. We had a wonderful stay here - wish we never had to leave!
