Kai’s place is great. A real find. We stayed there for a week with our children (3 and 6) when our apartment (also in Brooklyn) suffered flood damage. This was comfortably the best value option we could find at short notice. The apartment is newly renovated, very clean with nice furniture and fixtures. No-one, currently, lives above or below so we didn’t have to worry about the kids disturbing the neighbors. The street is also surprisingly quiet, much quieter than the block where we actually live(!) There are bunch of good coffee shops and restaurants walking distance from the apartment. If you want to be in the heart of a nightlife scene, it’s not that, but it’s 2 mins walk from the 2/3 subway and 12 mins from the B/Q so getting around is easy. The kids didn’t want to leave!
Couple of points of note: there are lots of windows that do not yet have safety guards, which may be an issue if you have toddlers. Kai was upfront with us about this. We just kept them locked while the kids were up. Nothing else felt hazardous.
Secondly, the mattress in the main bedroom is pretty firm. We found it comfortable but worth noting if you have a strong preference for or aversion to a firmer sleep!
