First of all, the home is exactly as shown in the pictures and description. Their home is right next to the A train station, and makes getting around town on the subway super easy. There are many restaurants, groceries, fruit stands within walking distance. All the equipment in the apartment worked great, we especially appreciated the room AC units that kept the apt cool during this hot summer. The living room furniture is comfortable and stylish. The apt is nicely decorated with art and Bruce's photographs. One great feature is that the kitchen is truly stocked for cooking (many homes say they are, until you go to reach for a spatula and can't find one!). They even had spices and condiments available for our use, which does save quite a bit of money if you intend to eat in. The apt has an elevator, which is a real bonus! The bathrooms were very clean, and we had adequate hot water for showers. The apt building has a double front door, with locked doors for safety. Neighborhood is very nice, the apt was very quiet. There are beautiful parks within walking distance (Fort Tryon park is amazing and worth the walk). We used Lyft several times and the drivers were usually only 2 to 4 minutes away. Our family felt very welcome and comfortable in Bruce and Suzanne's home!
