A proper brownstone in a nice neighbourhood of Brooklyn with nice restaurants, shops, etc nearby and good connections into Manhattan. The house is awesome, it's a family home and has a lot of character. It's huge, we didn't really use the downstairs, which is set up as an artist's studio/gallery space but other guests might find a use for it. Our family of 4 with young kids had plenty of space on the top 2 floors. The house has everything you need: AC, kitchen stuff, great water pressure, etc. Irena, the host was really helpful and quick to reply. We hope to return in future.
