Donovan's row house has been renovated and is spacious and lovely inside - hardwood floors, a new kitchen, nice bathrooms. Three of the four bedrooms are large and comfortable - the fourth is more snug and designed for one person (twin bed). There are lots of stairs - several to get to the front door, right when you walk in, and another two levels within the home when you get to the main level. This presented a bit of a problem for us as one of our parents recently had a knee replacement. The location is right near two of the subway stations further out from the city - you'll have a a 45 - 60 minute trip to get into Manhattan. Our biggest challenge was the location. While it felt safe, there weren't any restaurants or coffee shops within walking distance - just some corner convenience stores. If you choose Donovan's place, be prepared to drive or use Uber/Lyft to get around. Ultimately, that is the tradeoff - a reasonably priced, modern, large space, but with a location that is further out and lacking in nearby attractions.
As a host, Donavan was excellent. He was responsive and super flexible, and even allowed us to bring our aging dog. I really appreciated his efforts.
