This home is in an excellent location - close to restaurants, parks, and shopping in Brooklyn. It's a nice neighborhood and you feel safe walking around all times of day or night. Only a block from Flatbush - it was still pretty quiet at night, keeping mind that you are still in a major city so you are going to hear some city noise at all hours of the day/ night. It is close to subway stops to make a quick ride into Manhattan. We stayed in this property for a week with my family - husband, 2 young kids, and my parents - and it worked out perfectly. The rooms are spacious for a NYC property and the common area - kitchen and family room - are quite large. There are plenty of bathrooms: 2 on the 1st level, 1 - 1/2 bath on the 2nd level, and 1 on the 3rd level. The bedrooms are genuinely bigger than we expected - plenty of room for luggage and to move around easily. This home is very conducive for families, especially with young kids - great space, toys, books, safe, etc...
The only negative are the stair cases - which isn't really a negative since most NYC walk-ups have stairs. I only site it as a negative because we have small children (age 1 & 3). But we knew going in that there were many stairs and we rented baby gates. We rented 3 baby gates to shield the stairs, however I would suggest 4 to cover each one: 2 on the 1st level and 2 on the common area/ 2nd floor.
I had a wonderful experience with Yves - he was always quick to respond and provided honest insight and advice as we were trying to decide on whether to book his home for our trip. Tony is his local property manger and was equally wonderful to work with. He corresponded with us prior to arrival, met us at check-in and even met the local baby rental company we used for our trip. I would highly recommend this property and plan to stay there in the future if it is available.
