Perfect location for our family of four visit to NYC. All subway lines we needed to get to and out of Manhattan were conveniently within walking distance. We did come by car and ended up parking in a private lot ($28/day) because street parking was hard to find. Contact with our host Mark was minimal (we only texted our arrival and departure), which is how we wanted it. We did meet the housekeeper Marie on the first day and once walking back to the place - lovely lady who was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place, regardless of whether you're visiting as a couple or with two kids.
