All as described. The neighborhood is a mix of up and coming areas and some still to regenerate. Whilst we saw so things that weren't quite what we were used to (coming from the suburbs of Perth, Australia) all our interactions with the locals were positive.
Owen and his wife communicated promptly and clearly and there were no issues checking in or out.
There are also laundry facilities provided but be sure to take a few quarters, $2.50 per load for washing and drying.
Our family of 2 adults and three kids rapidly approaching teenage years had no problems with space.
It's also well worth checking out the shops in the Brooklyn Mall as an alternative to making the trek into Manhatten.
