Lovely space, large enough to feel a sense of spaciousness and ease (not easy to find in NYC) And one stop away from Grand Central (the house is five mins from the Vernon Blvd stop on the 7 train). Jim was a very hospitable host, his long familiarity with the neighbourhood helped to add to feeling of living in the 'village' of Long Island City. Supermarkets and plenty of places to eat within a few minutes of the house.
