I stayed with Rose and her family for the month of July. The house is really well located, minutes from several subway lines and local buses which Rose helped me navigate! Also close to all the local amenities as well as the rivers and Central Park. The house itself is spacious and the kitchen is stocked with every kind of utensil you could need. I also appreciated the little touches like baskets for my bathroom/kitchen items and canvas tote bags for picking up shopping. I had some lovely chats with Rose and her family when we crossed paths and they were able to fill me in on local events which was great. The only slight downside was that the room got very hot while I was staying but unfortunately I visited during an unexpectedly vicious heatwave so I’m sure this is far from usual! Rose was sure to give me tips on how to survive the heatwave and there was A/C in other rooms of the house which I was able to take advantage of.
