I enjoyed the location, on a quiet, residential street with a short walk to subway/bus stops. Markets + coffee shops were close by, but not any restaurants we would enjoy eating at (mostly take-away spots).
This place is probably a large amount of space for the price and location in Brooklyn, but it still felt small to my friend and I. I wouldn't be able to feel comfortable staying here with my family of four.
The radiator heating didn't turn on, so the living/dining area was cold, but the bedrooms were warm. We tried turning on the electric fireplace, but it kept blowing a fuse/switch so it wouldn't work. If we had a hair dryer going, we couldn't use anything else at the same time. It's definitely an old building without updated electrical.
Noticed a constant smell of natural gas in the apartment. We couldn't figure out where it was coming from (oven? water heater?).
The kitchen sink was a formidable leak that we weren't told about. There is a bucket under the sink to catch the leak, but since we didn't know about it, it overflowed and water leaked to the floor.
The apartment is on the middle level, so we could hear everything the renters above us were doing. It may have just been them, but they walked very loudly, so it disturbed our peace and comfort while trying to sleep.
Overall, I felt safe and enjoyed the location. The price is reasonable for the location and amount of space. I couldn't justify returning or recommending this place though.
