We stayed at Norman's house for 5 weeks (a family with two kids). We had a really great time there. The location is great, it's near to the LIRR station (13 mins walking), and it takes about 30 mins with train to Penn station. At the end of the street is entrance to a nice park with lake, there are several playgrounds in the neighbourhood. The house itself is old and many devices did not work perfectly during our stay (drier, dishwasher, heating, vacum cleaner) but it did not affect our stay too much. The house is big which is convenient for a family and also the garden where kids can play is nice. Unfortunately there were some garbage left in the garden after recent renovation. I really like the outside dining area with a big barbecue. I would definitely recommend Norman's place. But as the description clearly says, you have to know that the place is old and Norman is renovating it step by step so be prepared that some things may not work and that there may be some signs of construction. Thank you Norman for your hospitality!
