We enjoyed staying with Anthony and his wonderful wife. They were super-sweet to us. They gave us plenty of recommendations what to visit in NYC and what places to see. The room was very nice: clean, sunny and warm. It was very easy to get to the center from Anthony's place: 20-30 min by subway. We had a chance to meet Anthony's friends too and to be a part of a family/friends dinner. They are marvelous chefs by the way :) All in all, you will not regret staying with this great family.
