John was waiting at the door when we came. He and his family were very nice and very responsive to any questions we had. If you want to feel like you are living in New York, this is the place for you. It was perfect for us - an apt on the 4th flr with 3 bdr, so we each had our space. It had a kitchenette so we could cook when we wanted. There is a great deli a block away. We were a block from Central Park and it was a homey brownstone in a family neighborhood. With the windows open, we could hear the sounds of the school playground next door, the street noise, etc.. This was not a negative for us.

We locked a bag in the apt when we were leaving & John rescued us with a quick solution. (and was very gracious about it).

We would (will) go back and stay at John's brownstone - it helped make this one of our best vacations ever!
