Everything was exactly as I hoped it would be. Jimmy lives next door and we had a chance to say hi when we bumped into him on our first night. He was a very accomodating host, even asking us when we wanted to check out before accepting a booking for the following night.
The house was spacious and comfortable. The best part for us was the enclosed backyard. We were visiting NYC to pick up our dog at the airport - he travelled all the way from Australia. He was pretty shaken up by his long flight. It was lovely for him to be able to race around the backyard and enjoy being out of his crate.
The neighbourhood is quiet, in a good way. At the same time, its only a short walk to the train line and a surprisingly lively main street. A perfect place to stay.
