This is a large (for NYC) place with two bathrooms, which is what we needed for a group of 7. That said, it's a NYC sized place, so set your expectations appropriately for bedrooms and bathrooms. The street noise is a bit loud during the evening/night (as others have mentioned). We felt safe in the neighborhood. Easy walk to a grocery. Easy walk to Utica Ave Subway, which several lines connect to. Staying here felt like part of the true NY experience. We parked our car at 256 Utica Ave garage, didn't even attempt street parking. Anytime we had questions or issues, Chaim was quick to answer them/address them. Great host, great place for a family to stay.
