We had an amazing stay at Mahmoud's home. The house was easy to find and it's a beautiful historic house with plants everywhere so we felt at home right away!
We parked for free on the street right in front of the house, but there was parking available in the entry way if needed.
The free ferry to NYC was only a 10-15 min walk and runs every 30 min so going into the city was way easier than I thought it would be.
We only visited for one night, but we will be back (hopefully soon) to explore the city some more and would happily stay at Mahmoud's place again.
