Eric and his family were extremely welcoming into their home and it was so great meeting them! They immediately welcomed us in and they were also extremely helpful with our questions. There was even available street parking - it was free, just had to be aware of street cleaning days, but we had no issues just moving the car to the opposite side of the street those days in the morning! We were on a baseball stadium road trip, so we were extremely close to Yankee Stadium and it was an easy walk there. We also felt safe walking back after the night game. We went to many different tourist spots too and would Uber/Lyft down to Lower Manhattan, but the Subway was right at the end of the block too. It was super easy to get in and out of the city being on the Upper Manhattan side. Highly recommend staying here for seeing NYC and having a cozy spot to rest your heads!
