My husband, parents, baby and I had a wonderful time living in this space over the winter holidays. We used to live in the area and my brother still does, so it was wonderful to come back for an unforgettable experience. The building is nice and newly renovated, though there is no elevator. Many fun things are a walk or a short subway or cab ride away, including Manhattan. The apartment has modern amenities, such as a dishwasher, a big sink (perfect for baby bath), etc. We used our hosts' juicer and liked it so much that we bought the exact same one! The collections of books and other stuff in the rooms were fun and eclectic. The terrace is wonderful, though we didn't get to spend a whole lot of time out there since it was winter time.
The one thing the kitchen was missing was a coffee maker. There is a coffee shop on the block, but of course that option is more expensive and less convenient than having a coffee maker on hand, so I do hope they get one (after day two we bought an Italian style moka pot, and I would recommend getting that).
In my husband and I's room there was one cleared drawer in a dresser and some cleared space in the closet. Between the two of us plus baby, we needed more room than that so in the end we were living out of our suitcase and having to rummage through it all the time. We would have preferred to be able to unpack fully and put the suitcase away. The bathroom was clean, with a nice and deep bathtub, but the sink doesn't drain properly and needs work.
Overall, we had a wonderful time in this apartment and would highly recommend it to any lover of Brooklyn.
