This rental was a very mixed bag.
Pros: Very large, which accommodated all 12 of our guests. There was good common space for hanging out together after a long day and the dining table easily accommodated 10 people. Beds were extremely comfortable. Neighborhood is lovely, with plenty of restaurants, shops and grocery stores in walking distance. Also, it is just 2 blocks from a subway stop (which is not surprising, as the train tracks are right behind the house).
Cons: One of the showers was not working at all (which was a big hassle as twelve us of had to share 2 showers and I find it impossible to believe that the cleaning crew didn't realize this when they came before our arrival). The front room in the third floor has no curtains, making it hard to use it as a bedroom. The pull out couch upstairs is extremely uncomfortable.
The kitchen is very poorly equipped -- we did not have enough glasses for 12 people, only 8 small plates, there were only 4 table knives, no cookie sheets, no pitchers, no serving dishes, no utensil caddy in the dishwasher. Since we decided to eat in one evening, this created significant problems. And, as others mention, the house is right on the train tracks, so ear plugs are essential.
With some TLC from the owners, this place could be a five star property.
