Stunning Brooklyn Brownstone

The house was perfect in all ways. Great location. It’s was immaculate and family friendly. The beds were very comfortable and communicating with the host was very easy. We will absolutely go back again!!!

The house was absolutely beautiful. High design throughout. High end appliances and finishes everywhere. I would say minimalism meets victorian meets Scandinavian meets African influences meets designer dream home. There are four beds, all comfortable. The ‘day bed’ is a day bed frame with an air mattress. The only negative was the lamps in the primary suite could not be plugged in due to outlet locations, a that also meant phones had to be plugged in and left on the floor instead of the nightstands. There are two and a half bathrooms. The bedrooms on each floor share a bathroom. The bathrooms are large, wet rooms which is wonderful high design.The living area has a TV, but it does not swivel well, so some folks couldn’t see… but we were watching KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix, so it was more of a singalong than anything.The kitchen was stunning. Legitimately stunning. We didn’t use anything except the fridge as it was a single night stay, but if you are staying for multiple days, this would be a chefs wonder kitchen to make a great family meal.The neighborhood was great. We found a great coffee shop and bodegas.The owner was also VERY accommodating for check in. We were uptown in manhattan sight seeing, and they were so gracious about our fluctuating arrival time. Super sweet owners, and really above and beyond gracious.

We had an excellent visit to this stylish spacious brownstone apartment in Brooklyn. 4 friends from UK to celebrate a birthday. A bedroom each, space to dine in if needed and in a perfect spot to explore Manhattan and Brooklyn, the metro worked well wherever we went, especially the A train! Our host was always helpful and we had a grand time.

TLDR: the house is beautiful, but it's not a fully private space (the host lives in the basement with only thin plastic separating the floors), and the host is not considerate, and the amenities were not accurate.Pro: big bedrooms with comfortable beds and individual AC units per room, beautiful furnishings throughout, and a well-stocked kitchen.Con: We were traveling with our 3yo daughter and was interested in the house because it offered kids' items like a travel crib, toys, books, and cups, etc. Turns out the host was using all of these things at the time and so I had to buy a travel crib and other items. (The host ended up sharing some items toward the end of our 5-day visit). Con: The place was also listed on sale for a last-minute booking. However, after booking it, the host said she didn't approve VRBO to offer this discount and so asked me to pay it, which was shocking. Given that I had to buy baby items, I only agreed to pay half the fee.Con: The host asked us to not have our daughter run or make much noise because they can hear everything below (tough to do with a toddler!).Con: After 2 days, the host asked for a rental company to come through to see the place, which really should've waited until we departed. Already feeling like this woman would likely try to charge me more money, I relented, which required cleaning up.Overall, Tatiana was inhospitable throughout and unprofessional, which made us feel watched and uncomfortable in her place.
