Our stay did comply with our wishes and we felt very welcome by Joris. He informed us very good about the possibilities, the location and even some history. We had a busy 4 days in NY but coming 'home' late evening was every day again a nice step out of the noisy Manhattan environment. We did our breakfast shopping 'around the corner' where you can find all you need. Metro is a 10' walk from the location and taking the metro to and from Mht is not too far. Taking a taxi is just a short call and 5' later you are picked up in the street where only very limited traffic is passing by.
