First, your communication with Brendan will be fast. He keeps you updated during every step of the process and will send messages with accurate and easy to follow check in instructions. These instructions also contain detailed information about small quirks around the house as well as local food places with their contact information and travel instruction for public transportation if desired. The house is renovated with an immaculate contemporary look. The place is actually pretty spacious for a Brooklyn home. We had 3 adults and 2 children so only had to use 3 of the 4 bedrooms available. The bedrooms themselves are spacious. The 2 in the basement are larger than the 2 upstairs but be aware that in the fall/winter it’s a little cooler in the basement relative to upstairs (as you would expect). The bathrooms were clean and towels/wash cloths and soap were readily available. There’s a jacuzzi tub with a TV if you need a little extra relaxation at night and a wooden floor mat which helps to protect your feet from the cold bathroom floor when stepping out of the shower or tub. There were an iron and ironing board as well as a washer and dryer if needed. The wifi signal was strong and there were 2 separate routers upstairs and downstairs to make sure you maintain a reliable signal. Although we did not use the kitchen much, it appeared to have all of the basic necessities one would need (dishes, silverware, sink, fridge, trash, soap and sitting space). Overall it was a pretty outstanding experience and my family and I were happy to lodge in this location. I have saved it so that I can easily look for it on my next trip to NYC!
