Spacious 5-bedroom house in enjoyable Brooklyn

The property was OK for what we required, however we did have 1 bedroom (small one) which the lights didn't work and the property could do with an additional sofa in the living room as there wasn't enough space for everyone to sit.The property could also do with a bit of decoration.

House was big enough for our whole party of 8 people and had enough beds for everyone. We liked how close it was to the subway.

OK place, inaccurate listing I have a family of five - two teens and a baby, along with my husband and I. We spent a week in NYC for a wedding and were looking for a place with enough space for all of us and somewhat affordable- slim pickings in New York. The place was true to size, clean and had room for all of us. But, the listing was misleading. The place needs updating as the paint on the walls and ceiling are falling off - a big chunk fell onto the sofa while we were there. When communicating with the owner, I was told the property was on Carroll street, just off Prospect Park. But, the actual property is on Carroll but off Uticia - about 1.8 miles from Prospect Park and a less gentrified neighborhood. It made moving around more challenging logistically with a baby and fewer amenities were available and we were more cautious walking around at night. Finally, the electricity cut out in the place half a dozen times. The property manager was very responsive and communicative and did get an electrician out quickly. Unfortunately, with the heat wave in NYC and temps over 100, it was uncomfortable at times. Once it was fixed, Con Edison decided to cut the power to the neighborhood (not the owner's fault), for a night - which also wasn't fun due to strains on the grid. Overall we had a good time in NYC and given the price point this place is probably a good value for money, but I feel the listing should be more transparent about the location and the condition of the unit.
