We had an absolutely fabulous time at Michelle's home! Michelle responded quickly and answered all my questions. Her sister greeted us when we arrived. She was so sweet and showed us around and gave us great information about the home.
Everything was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The common area spaces were great hang out spaces for our family (there were 7 of us). We enjoyed a beautiful summer evening in the huge --for nyc :) backyard surrounded by stringed lights.
We were able to walk to restaurants, (Freddy's bar is one of my daughter's favorites), grocery, subway.)
I would definiety go back and highly recommend for larger groups.
Some important notes: If you are not an early riser, sleep in the bottom level. There are skylights in the upper bedrooms that give great light, but also are bright in the morning when the sun comes up and may wake you.
The bottom level is one big room--Queen bed and great sectional that makes another bed (my son said it was very comfortable.--so not a BR plus separate seating area.
If any in your party have trouble walking or with stairs, know that you have to go up or down to get to a bedroom. Michelle made sure we knew this. What I did not factor in was the amount of walking and number of flights of stairs you end of taking while spending time in the city. Even when you use the subway alot, there is still a lot of walking to get to/from stops, sights and flights of stairs getting in/out of subways. Even my parents (80s), who do a lot of walking and have their bedroom on 2nd floor at their house), were pretty tired at the end of the day and getting up another flight of stairs to the bedroom was a little bit of a challenge.
Bottom line: Just great. Even better than I expected. Highly recommend.
