This is a lovely place with a very kind, on-site host! I had never stayed outside of Manhattan on previous trips to NY over the years, but we didn't want to share a hotel room with 3 generations of people on very different schedules. This home met all of our needs. We loved how easy it was to get to Manhattan, and yet it was a quiet, affordable and spacious place to stay. Alexandra was the perfect host - helpful, sweet, and easy to communicate with. She even left some delicious pastries for us on our second morning - so thoughtful! Would absolutely recommend if you need a little extra space and some peace and quiet. We always felt safe in the neighborhood as well.
