We were a two adults and three kids. It was important to me that the kids, being from a small town in Ca, would feel comfortable at the house. The kids loved the house as did my husband and I. The space was spread out, so we could get some alone time if we needed it, and the living room was very comfortable. I also enjoyed meeting Mario, the next door neighbor. We drove to Journal square everyday and paid $12 for parking for the day. It would have been too far to walk after hiking around NYC all day. The house is a good fit for families, very quiet and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch. We would return to the house in the future. Oh, one last thing, Stephen was very prompt in returning text messages, and was very kind!
