This is a very lovely home. First, the basics--it's inviting, well-lit, clean and roomy. The master bed is quite comfortable (and we are very picky about mattresses) and the bathrooms are both updated. Although it's on a busy street, we had no problem with noise.

What makes this home truly wonderful is the extras. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked. I made fairly complex meals over our two-week stay and found every spice I needed on the shelf. The cookware is similarly extensive as are the tools and gadgets. We hosted a dinner for nine and had no problem finding enough plates, glasses and silverware. The sound system is modern as is the TV. The water pressure in the master bath shower is heavenly.

In short, this is exactly the type of home you hope to find when you arrive in Brooklyn. Lots of character, warmth and convenience.
