My (now) husband and I rented this house as a place for us and our families to stay when we got married in New York last week. It was perfect, literally couldn't have been better! The location is amazing with easy access to Manhattan by subway and all the great spots of Brooklyn by subway or even by foot. The neighborhood itself is gorgeous and just a block from all the restaurants, shops and cafes of fifth avenue. However, the best part of the stay was the house and our host. There were 13 of us staying there (including 3 small children). I was worried we would be cramped but we all fitted with what appeared to be the greatest of ease. Miriam is the perfect host, providing extra linen and towels as well as two pac n' plays should we have needed them. The kitchen is ideal for preparing meals for a large party (which we did three times) and Miriam generously offered all of her (extensive supply of kitchenware) for our use. Additionally, the garden is fantastic and it was such a pleasure to hang out there, especially when the madness of wedding planning got a bit much. My family (young and old) traveled over from Ireland and my husband's from Colombia. Organizing our wedding in New York could have been a little overwhelming but with Miriam's impeccable hosting and the welcoming feel of this house it was amazing. I can't recommend this listing highly enough!!!!
