What a great experience! Kurt was an extraordinary host; allowing us to feel most welcome prior to arrival, inquiring about our needs and in scheduling a time to meet. We found on street parking in sight of the front door immediately. The neighborhood was tranquil; a mix of multi-ethnics & young hipsters-making people watching and inexpensive,exotic dining a treat. Access to the subway was great being less than a two block walk. The accommodations were perfect-clean, roomy, with great beds and linens. It was very quiet in the evening, allowing us to rest up from our busy days. There is a very functional kitchen and dining area. The back yard was a super treat-a green space to decompress when you needed a quiet moment. The unexpected bonus is the amazing book store on site, which Kurt generously gave us a tour of and the library in our part of the house which could provide a lifetime of fascinating reading. We will return to this gem of a property! Thanks so much, Kurt.
