This place was perfect for us (family with three kids of 7, 9 and 14) for many reasons. First of all the location: next to Central Park. If you want you can start the day with a morning run around the Jacky Kennedy Reservoir (we did!). Shops, subway, restaurants and supermarktets (Whole Foods): all within walking distance. Second, the house is really special. It is built in the 19th century and is filled with art and special artefacts: it tells a thousand stories. The place was quite spacious too: we had the whole floor to ourselves, with three bedrooms and seating place everywhere. And last but not least: Sarah and her husband are really nice and warm people. In short: it was everything we expected and more for our family getaway in New York City!
