first of all, Jack and his wife are the true definition of "Super hosts". they are amazing people, super nice, kind, and very accommodating.
secondly, me and my family absolutely loved the place. we've spent there almost 2 weeks and it was exactly what we needed, rare find.
the living room is huge and there's even a patio. the kitchen is well equipped and my mom loved it. every bedroom was clean, comfortable, organized, and we had plenty of towels to use. the bathroom was big, clean, with plenty of toilet paper, different types of soap and sanitizers.
Jack made sure that my dad could smoke comfortably outside and got for us 2 brand new garden chairs to sit on.
shopping wise, there are 3 different supermarkets within a 5 minute walk, more than 2 Coffee shops within a 2 minutes walk, pharmacies, delis and various restaurants. there is a huge park 15 minutes walk from the house and a shopping mall within a 10 minutes drive. the subway station was a 10 minute walk for the times we wanted to go to Manhattan.
it had everything we wanted and more and our 2 weeks vacation was perfect. we will definitely try and book it again on our next vacation.
