The apartment met our needs for the week at an affordable price. The folding doors for the 1 bedroom was broke and wish that had been fixed since we had a baby staying in there. Everything else was fine. The neighborhood was great and friendly!

The apartment was tired but clean. A little disappointing when we first arrived but then you settle in and forget the little things It was only an 8 mins walk from Crown Heights - Utica subway which gave easy access to Manhattan. There were plenty of food stores nearby to set us up for the day Plenty of pots and pans for cooking but limited on cups/mugs and the table is small especially when you could sleep 11.The same could be said for the lounge, you can sit 5 young kids but not much more.That said, we only used it as a base. So can only comment as such.Overall, a 4 star

Host was super responsive, if I had a question he responded within minutes. Read all the reviews as they are accurate. Not super cozy if you plan on hanging there for long periods of time but it worked fine for us. If your VRBO can sleep 12, then it should be able to seat 12 as well as have enough mugs, plates, etc. The place is in need of serious updates: paint chipped everywhere, mold in the bathroom on the ceiling, no decor, etc. Go to the subway entrance on the Schenecady side (other side on Utica was kinda sketchy at night).

communication with host was good. not the cleanest it could be, there was an odd smell coming from the entrance. none of the doors fully locked and small inconveniences around the house. as expected for a brooklyn neighborhood. good for a larger group.
