We are a family with two young children who were lucky enough to stay at David and Janet's unique shipping container house. It's a great house from both the perspective of the architecture and the people who host it. What we loved about the space and the way they have setup the house is the way they have managed to create an easy going experience, like you are staying with friends. We felt comfortable that our 2 1/2 year old could happily wonder up the stairs or to 'Mormon' the dog. David and Janet were also great hosts, providing help, tour guiding or laying low as we needed.
The location was perfect for us, close to the subway with a lift (a must for those with things in tow in NY), a variety of interesting food places, grocery stores and a park. It was a great little respite for a little weary travellers at midday sleep time and the end of the day. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
