This house was a wonderful stay for our large family of 7 (3 children, 4 adults).
The upstairs and downstairs serve as very different atmospheres.
Upstairs is a classic brownstone feel with wooden floors, large windows, and the original layout with many walls.
Downstairs you’ll find a (I believe at the time of this review, June 2021) brand new design and layout. Open floor plan, clean concrete floors, small windows, and a beautiful backyard patio to soak in the midday sun.
There were a couple of things to note:
The hosts were extremely responsive to our one solvable issue- the WiFi was spotty in the basement level- likely due to the thick walls that shield most of the sound from one home to another. However, the host went out of their way to solve this for us during our extended stay.
Secondly, if you are sleeping in the front room with the full bed + bunk bed with wood flooring, expect to hear most things going down Howard or Decatur.
Thirdly, after sunset, download the citizen app and if you must walk around the neighborhood late nights, walk with care.
During the day, everything was wonderful, and the people around were kind.
