We had a wonderful time at Eric and Tabitha’s home. They are wonderful hosts and stayed in touch and went above and beyond to make us comfortable.
The house is just as pictured, spacious and very comfortable. The steps are a bit steep but my senior parents were able to manage them. The kitchen is stocked with a few pots and pans, some spices and coffee/tea stuff. The fridge is huge and the host has left some coke/bottled water for guests to use. I even saw a whole chicken in the freezer! The beds were comfortable and the bath was so luxurious! The washer and dryer were a big plus. Water pressure and temperature were great too. The hosts were so kind to install an ac in the second bedroom the very same day when we mentioned that the room was a bit hot. So now all bedrooms plus living area have ac.
Location can’t be beat. It is 10 min by walk to Utica station which connects to Manhattan and other areas very efficiently. Utica station is great for seniors as it has elevators for all levels. We even managed to get the b46 bus right across the street from the home to connect to the subway station, with less than 2 min walk for my parents. It was very convenient to go to Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Wall Street and broadway. There is a grocery store in the same block too. Quiet residential neighborhood, we slept well here.
Parking was a little challenging but it is free and we managed to get parking a few blocks away, the neighborhood felt safe to park the car on the street and also to walk around in late at night. We always got back home after midnight!
All in all we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend the hosts as well as their home.
