This is a massive house with loads of space in a nice neighbourhood. Its close to the subway and a few good restaurants and we really enjoyed the closeness to the park. The only negative was the noise from the Park Avenue train line, this was fine during the day but was quite intrusive at night. If you are a deep sleeper probably won't bother you, if not would suggest getting some earplugs.
Ben and Elisabeth were really responsive and helpful when our flight was delayed and we had a good time in NYC.
