The home is quite far from Manhattan if you plan to tour Manhattan most of the time although public transportation is available but it would take you 1.5 hours at least. Uber or Lyft would be around 50+ USD. The house is cozy with dim and yellow lights. The biggest bedroom and the living room have AC while the 2 other rooms don't have. It won't be a problem if it is not summer. Shampoos and body soaps are normally not provided but hand soaps are there. Clean towels are present. Washer and dryer are available to use with the need of 4 quarters each machine and are located behind the house. We needed to pass by around the block to get to the laundry area and sometimes the dogs would be out, we just needed to call Elizabeth to keep the dogs. Overall, our stay was good, just far from the center.
