Nicole was an incredible host. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a lovely lady Nicole had arranged to greet us (even after many delays with our flights). The house is an absolute sanctuary, exactly like the pictures- stunning, in an area that makes sight seeing and experiencing the wonders of NY a breeze. Such close access to the subway, Central Park, cafes, restaurants to suit every taste, corner stores, etc. Our 1.5 year old son had a blast at the many Central Park playgrounds nearby. I highly recommend this wonderful place to all.
