We were a family of six, spanning three generations. "Family-friendly" is a very good description of this excellent condo. The oldies took the small double-bedroom up one end, with its neat little "study" with small desk and large window facing the street outside. This was separated by a curtain from the nice big, bright communal living-kitchen area. At the back, there's a double-bedroom with door into the rear balcony. The youngsters took the bunk-bedroom with huge wide beds, also with separate access to the rear balcony and with the en-suite. There's an additional shower room and toilet halfway along the corridor. The view from the rear balcony is relaxing, with trees and small gardens outside, and facing the rising sun. The location six blocks from the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park is great. Wonderful arrangement overall for our six-night stay. It was spotlessly clean, and had all the kit we needed and expected - plus a bonus of an electronic keyboard and lots of board games, which we hadn't anticipated. We did enjoy staying in a place like this with such a friendly "lived-in" feel. The owner's family put their own things to one side and made enough empty space available for us to use comfortably.
We visited in mid-August. We arrived on a very hot day so we started up the air-con, but the weather turned a bit cooler for the rest of our time and we didn't need it, given the very effective fans in each room. It's easy to set up a cooling breeze from front to back of the condo once you've sussed out the trick of unlatching the windows - not difficult.
The only downside was when we first arrived. We retrieved the set of three keys from the outdoor keysafe without any problem, but then struggled to use the front door key. By trial and error we fairly quickly found which key was the right one and which way up it needed to go. But getting the lock to open took us several minutes, before we jiggled it the right way to work. Perhaps the tumbler pins inside were a bit worn and wouldn't lift, or perhaps the key shape was not quite right, or a poor copy. In the elevator (with two kids inside, plus the bags, and on a hot afternoon) we also took some time to work out how to operate its key, even with the owner's instructions. Anxiety levels rising, we eventually got it to go. Subsequently, practice made perfect and this problem solved itself. Natasha has been very responsive about getting this attended to, so this is only a minor criticism and may not affect anyone else.
The outdoor street noise is noticeable at the front of the condo when the windows are open, especially when the emergency vehicles go by. The U-Haul yard across the road isn't very attractive to look at but didn't cause a noise nuisance.
All in all, we recommend this condo strongly. It suited us very well indeed and we'd certainly go again.
