This is a good place for families visiting New York City but would want to retire in a quiet place at day's end. The brownstone is in a quiet street but close to grocery stores and quick eats. You can either walk, take the subway, or get a cab/uber. The house is complete with amenities and very clean. Wade is a very pleasant and accommodating host. We are a family of 4 and each had a bedroom to ourselves - this really worked for us.
