This was a perfect space for extended family members to gather for my cousin's wedding. We had 4 generations of family members (total of 7 people) at the house, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and not be on top of one another. The main floor gathering area was a wonderful space to visit with family from Georgia, Oregon, and Minnesota, and there was room to cook and eat together. The house just felt comfortable - like I was staying at a family member's place, not a cold impersonal rental unit. The cats were friendly and added a bit of entertainment value with their playing. Overall a great space for a large family to gather, and a good home base for exploring the New York City sights, being about 10-15 minutes' walk from 3 different subway lines.
