If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This place was perfect for myself, my 3 adult children, my teenage son, and my 5 year old granddaughter. We were upstairs so I was a bit concerned about my granddaughter being too loud and asked Sam to let me know if we were too loud. The sound proofing in the place was wonderful. We never had a complaint. The windows must be double paned because we are not used to all the honking of New York and when we closed the windows it was very quiet. There are places close by to get groceries, subway is a 7 minute walk, and it was nice to go to a quiet neighborhood after busy days in the city. Many of the nights we got back at around midnight and always felt safe walking back from the subway. The host is very kind and easy to communicate and responded quickly with questions. I chose this place largely because of how helpful he was with my first message to him. I received tips on where to go and how to get around. I appreciated that! It was a perfect place for my large family. The house is an older home (which is beautiful) and the unit we stayed in was completely up to date and looked freshly remodeled. I couldn't have been happier with our stay. Thank you! Definitely hope to book here again in the future.
