Julia was great to work with, flexible with dates and always quick to respond to my emails. The house was lovely-- an oasis in the city. It was wonderful to come back to after a day of being out in the city. We stayed here with our children ages 4 and 2. This house was pretty child friendly and Julia was very nice to accommodate us with our kids. There were a couple areas of the house (steep stairs and open stairwell) that could be treacherous for young toddlers if they are "energetic explorers". Our younger daughter is very mild mannered and it wasn't a problem for us-- but just wanted to mention that to be helpful to other parents. At first glance we didn't realize that there were a handful of restaurants with right on our block and a little market kitty-corner to the house. 10min or less walk to the subway and main "strip" on Bedford. Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures and the back deck was a great place to eat breakfast. Overall, everything was smooth, comfortable, and we had a wonderful stay. Would recommend to anyone.
