Francesca and Jack were accommodating and gracious hosts sharing information about the neighborhood and the city. The apartment is well maintained and clean with two large bathrooms, two comfortable bedrooms, a fully appointed kitchen, a large dining room and a comfortable large living room. The location is easy access to public transportation with subway stops just a couple blocks walk from the front door. Central Park is only a half a block away and a real treat to be so near. A half block in the other direction finds plenty of restaurants, grocers, and stores for your daily needs. It's the ideal location to assimilate into the city like a local with little effort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Francesca and Jack and feel we have a new set of friends in New York.
