Our family is extremely grateful for the generosity of our host and the opportunity to stay in this wonderful home over the Christmas holiday. The location is perfect and central to many great restaurants and several excellent bodegas where you can find anything that you need from vegetables to milk to wine, etc. Parking on the street was super easy and once we arrived, we didn’t move our car. We walked to everything! The neighborhood and surrounding area all felt very safe. The gourmet kitchen was perfect for our family to prepare dinner on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. The main floor (parlor) invites the guests to all hang out together in an open flow with great lighting comfort. The view from the deck that looks out at lower Manhattan is priceless. Every night we would watch the colors as they changed on the Freedom Tower. The bathrooms are immaculate and right out of a designer magazine or five-star hotel property.
