This is a fantastic spot for a stay in Brooklyn! Al is a wonderful host, great communicator, and he stepped in very quickly to adjust some issues we had around air conditioning in the middle of an NYC heatwave. We stayed with 2 young kids under the age of 3, and it was a great wide open space that is generally kid friendly. If you are imaging that you might use the couches as sleeping spots, I would definitely recommend packing an air mattress instead, but the bed in the bedroom is very comfortable. The kitchen is perfect if you just want to do simple breakfast at home and leave the dining out for other meals. The bathroom was a highlight - beautifully designed and great for adults and kids alike. All in all, we would rent from Al again and would pass along this listing to anyone visiting Brooklyn.
