BOOK THIS PLACE! We (family of 4) stayed here for a week during fall break. It was a perfect home base for exploring New York City. It was only a $15 taxi ride from LaGuardia. The house is on a nice quiet street that is still close to local shopping and dining. It is literally less than a block to the 46th Street subway station. The R & M trains run every few minutes, and it’s a quick 20-30 minutes downtown depending on where you are going. (Highly recommend getting an unlimited metro pass...). We took the subway EVERY where. It was even easy to get to Brooklyn.
The place is just the perfect size that you don’t feel like you are on top of each other. Which was a nice surprise for NYC. Very clean and nicely decorated. Also the shower is amazing! It felt like a spa shower. The bathroom also had nice lighting for doing hair and make-up, something my 18 yr. old daughter was very happy about. We found the neighborhood around the house to be nice and clean and we never felt unsafe, which was something my mother was worried about.
Our host was also thoughtful, leaving us some OJ, water and a few sodas. We bought some water, but didn’t really need it because the tap water tasted fine. She also provided shampoo, conditioner, a bar of soap, plenty of toilet paper and Kleenex. In the kitchen there was dish soap and paper towels too. The bath towels were plentiful and very high end. The bedding was very comfortable too, with extra blankets if we needed them.
She also allowed us to drop our luggage off before our check in time of 2 pm. We didn’t need to leave our luggage past 11 on check-out day, but I understand that was a possible option too if we needed it. The Wi-Fi was pretty quick, and the electronic door lock was nice, so need to worry about losing a key.
She was great about communicating too, even texting us when it was raining to let us know there were umbrellas in the closet we could use. Overall it was a great stay with a great host! We’ll definitely book again if we return!
