We stayed as a family of 6 for a month during the summer. Will was a great host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. He communicated very quickly and thoroughly. We had no problems meeting his son to enter the apartment and get the keys. He provided detailed instructions for everything we needed to know.
The apartment is on the second floor in an older but clean building in the gorgeous neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights and is extremely well connected to the subway - it offers amazing access to almost anywhere in Manhattan - much better than many areas of Manhattan itself. The A&C fast trains are literally a block away. The Promenade with the Manhattan skyline and a shaded playground are just 2-min walks away, with the lively Brooklyn Bridge park just below. There are plenty of good restaurants and grocery markets nearby.
The area is quiet by New York standards. However, the windows hardly block any noise, so be prepared if you're a light sleeper in the 2 bedrooms facing the street for hearing honking or people chatting throughout the night and regular early morning garbage pickups. The AC lines also run directly under the building and can be heard and felt, although it wasn't too overbearing.
The apartment is well-maintained, spacious, and clean. The kitchen is very well-equipped, having plenty of dishes for cooking and baking, as well as lots of cupboard, counter, and refrigerator space. The Wi-Fi was great. TV worked fine. There is plenty of seating - consider using a towel or blanket over the hard chairs if you plan to sit for longer periods in them. The beds all had clearn sheets and blankets. The mattresses were very soft.
The back bathroom was great. The front bathroom is a bit tight on counter space but gets the job down. Towels were new. The water in the bathtub can take a while before it gets warm - a cold or lukewarm shower was actually welcoming during the summer month at least.
The apartment does get quite warm and stuffy during the hot, humid weather, but the A/Cs did a decent job at keeping the temperatures and humidity manageable.
In all, we were happy to have a home in Brooklyn Heights and had a nice stay!
