This is a good space for some (probably younger folks not needing accessibility) looking for a little adventure in New York without paying Manhattan prices, but it's not right for everyone (such as probably older or people with disabilities.) This is in a fairly busy part of Brooklyn and the appliances at this space, like the space itself, are nice and modern like the sleek in-room air conditioners akin to the whole decor, however, this space is NOT right for some people. My family had a very, very hard time without a railing on the fairly steep stairs over the shops below. This is a Brooklyn experience- to be over a store and under train tracks (and the train is surprisingly almost silent inside the apartment, even while it roars outside) but the stairs, with no railing, were difficult for all of us- my wife and I, in our 30s (without any manifest physical disabilities), generally, did fine but would slow down a little at the top and bottom. My father, in his 70s, was a little more careful, but, again, was alright, given his ability to still hike with us. My mother, however, just a little slower than most and with bad knees and feet so she can't walk much, had a VERY hard time with the stairs. I'm not sure if it's legal in New York to have stairs without a railing but it seemed both uninviting at best and dangerous at worst. It was uncomfortable for some of us and terrifying for others. Other missing amenities in the space included towel bars, the back leg of the low couch in the kitchen (which many people, including my mother, couldn't sit in anyway), furniture other than stools, a baking sheet, drawer stoppers and an ideally functioning bathroom drain. For a few days, these things add up but Utrecht Avenue in Brooklyn is a nice location; the train, grocery and liquor stores are just a block or less away and Joseph and his family are friendly and efficient, off-site hosts, so this is a great, stop-over space for some, but definitely not right for all.
