Lovely "home base" for a New York vacation with my 12 yr old daughter and my sister. Only a couple blocks to both the 6 and 2/3 subway with a 20-30 min ride to all the downtown stops, but far enough away to take a break and smell more green than city for this Midwest country girl. Tara and her family were very nice whenever we crossed paths and Tara was great whenever we needed anything. Felt safe and welcome the entire time. Definitely a great place for any family.
