Location, location, location, just 1/2 block from the A/C subway lines. You can get downtown in 15 minutes and you are still in a neighborhood. The house is comfortable, clean, spacious, and perfect for anyone who is interested in seeing NYC but not being in the thick of downtown or Midtown. You can get to 125th in a hop skip and jump, there is a Whole Foods and plenty of shopping. There are restaurants up and down Amsterdam and the City College of New York is right up the hill. The host, Kakuna was communicative and upbeat. We loved our visit and look forward to coming back in the next year.
