We (two adults with a baby and a four-year old) had a comfortable ten-day stay in Heather's apartment. The apartment is small but worked well for us, though we never cooked dinner or used much of the kitchen beyond fixing breakfast, so can't comment on that.

Fort Greene is my favourite NY neighbourhood and the location of this flat is as good as it gets for enjoying the area. Heather was quick at responding to any questions we had.

For kids, it's a block or less away from three different playgrounds, including one with a public pool (which was a life saver during the heatwave). We were able to leave the stroller folded up on the ground floor. However, for a family with a smaller toddler the apartment may be lacking somewhat in terms of child safety: the shower changes temperature at will (there's a bath tub but no plug), the radiators are not covered, etc.

We did find the apartment to be too hot during the heatwave, the larger bedroom in particular was frequently too hot to sleep in (even when the ac had been on since the afternoon) and we ended up using the sofa bed in the living room as an alternative bed. For such a long stay we also would have appreciated a little bit more storage space and hangers to hang our clothes. On the plus side, there was a coffee maker and an iron + ironing board, which are things we've missed in other airbnbs.
