I treated my mother to a visit to NYC for her birthday and I couldn't have picked a better place for her to stay. Mary was very warm and inviting and their beautiful brownstone is clean and had that great NYC touch. Don't be turned off by the forth floor...it was no problem at all even for my mother who is older. The neighborhood is a great location and easy access to the train, also Mary's neighbors were very friendly. Mary and Josh provided more than enough information regarding directions, the train and such. I would highly recommend staying with them.
