I stayed here for 6 days in July.
What we loved :
- Check-in was extremely simple
- The upstairs of the house is gorgeous with lots of light. We absolutely loved the artwork. The kitchen (which is as nice as in the photos) was fantastic and had all the utensils we needed to cooking and the smart TV was a nice touch for watching movies after a day exploring NYC.
- The backyard is beautiful
Heads up for other guests:
- The host and other reviews are 100% accurate when they say there is no central AC and that fans are used to keep the house 'cool'. We stayed when BK was hit with a heat wave and the house was HOT (which we knew it would be). I recommend anyone staying here actually assess if they can handle the heat (or cold in the winter). I loved the pictures so much that I did not seriously consider how hot the house would be.
- The downstairs of the house -- even with the window-- has a basement feel. This is neither good nor bad but the pictures do not accurately capture the feel. Given that this is an old house there are cosmetic issues especially downstairs that are not captured in the photos (holes in the bathroom wall, toilet paper holder falling out of the wall).
