Home was absolutely charming-if you appreciate old homes you'll adore this one's history. Hosts were pleasnant and thoughtful. I felt like I was staying a week with my great aunt & uncle. Keep in mind when picking rooms to sleep: the main bedroom bed was quite firm and closer to the street so it was the noisest of the rooms (which they warned in the beginning). We were never bothered in the neighborhood, lots of police presence. You do see the hosts from time to time but it was never bothersome- I was actually greatful they were there because I forgot to grab a key when I left my group early and they were able to let me in. Would definitely recommend staying there for a varied NYC experience from the usual small hotel room next to timesquare.
