The house was very well equipped and recently renovated, you can find anything that you would need. It was perfect for children, 2,5 bathroom is a dream in NYC. We could easily find parking place on the streets for four days. It is a traditional caribbean neighbourhood; first night we learned that we had parked the car to the wrong side of the street, thanks to a neighbour that warned us we didnt get a ticket. I am not sure about distance to the subway cause we used car but there is a very detailed guide for guests and it says that its a very close distance. Laura answers questions very fast which is very helpful. There are very good groceries nearby. It was a good experience.
