I booked the place because of its proximity to a park, the privacy it offered and people’s description of it being quiet and the hosts being lovely.
Before I arrived in NYC, I worried a little about the distance from Manhattan and the travel time. And it does take about an hour or more to get to most places I went to - museums, parks, shows. But it turned out to be a good decision - figuring out public transport is a good way to get to know a city. I liked having the transition time between their quiet place and neighbourhood to the busy, bustling city.
The place itself is super comfortable. The kitchen is equipped for breakfast and coffee if you buy a few groceries. Even cooking simple meals if you feel like staying in one day. The park around the corner deserves a leisurely visit. It was full of fireflies when I went at dusk one day.
The bedroom is super comfortable and cosy and the living room with the desk was useful because I had to do some online work while I was there.
The space is cute, cosy, with lots of light, trees around. You are in a space put together with care as a home and still very private. I loved it and highly recommend it.
