The house is in a great location in Brooklyn near everything. So nice to be able to just walk to the corner to grab groceries, coffee, breakfast, etc. There is a lot of room to relax when traveling with a large family. Nicely decorated place with comfortable beds and lots of areas to congregate together as a family. If you are light sleeper, the rooms get very bright early in the morning and there are really noisy birds outside that seem to start right at midnight for some reason. But it's the city so what can you expect. Bring earplugs if you are overly sensitive to noise. The home theater in the house was a great place for us to gather in the evenings to watch movies before heading to bed.
