The house was in the location we desired in Prospect Lefferts (close to stores and restaurants) and the street is very quiet which was much appreciated for NYC. However, the bed that was advertised on the airbnb listing was not the actual one provided. The bed was listed as a king (and the picture showed an actual bed) but we were provided a sofa bed that was a full/queen size. The house is three stories and we were provided the main floor only. The living room was converted into a bedroom where the sofa bed was located.
Although the listing notes that AC is available in the house - there is only one small window AC unit that is in the sleeping area. This AC unit does not cool down the entire floor.
We had issues with the downstairs tenants. Their dog nonstop barked at times and one night kept us and our baby up from 10pm-2am. The owner did reach out to them several times concerning this issue which did help.
We also had issues with some pests (gnats and ants which were present from day one). The owner had an exterminator come in once during our stay after we voiced our concern regarding the gnats. The door to the bathroom also fell off and the owner had his friend come in to fix it. The communication was sometimes spotty with the owner which was frustrating at times (taking over a day to respond).
Overall, the house is very much a lived-in space by a family so not luxurious or spotless. There is a nice area that is filled with toys and is a play space in the house which is great if you have children. There is also an outdoor space but it is used by their downstairs' tenants and their dogs, so we did not spend much time there.
