We enjoyed a family vacation with our two adult sons who each came from different locations. We loved being in a home away from home. It was perfect for us as we had a spacious, beautifully decorated and fully equipped main living area for our time together and we had three private bedrooms where we worked from home, relaxed and slept. Jan was a terrific host - all instructions were clear and covered every aspect of our stay in the house - and she always responded promptly. The neighborhood is great - it is truly a neighborhood and with a quick walk down the street, there is a entrance to the subway that will take you anywhere you want to go. Central Park is in walking distance to the west. The ferry dock for the East River Ferry is a short walk to the east and we took that from the East 90th Street dock to Wall Street. Terrific way to travel and enjoy the sights of Manhattan, Queens and Roosevelt Island from the water! We are definitely planning to return!
