We had such a great time while staying at Rebekah's place! Our family of 6 visited New York for an entire week, and Rebekah's brownstone townhome was the perfect location for us to unwind after a busy day in the city. The subway into the city is very convenient and the subway station is very close to the townhome. I've always heard that the subway system in New York is confusing, but we found it to be just the opposite! It was extremely easy to use and get around everywhere. Not only did we take it to almost every tourist stop in manhattan, we also ventured out to a fun kids science museum in queens, and we went to Coney Island one night for a little beach and carnival action. We never felt unsafe, and with the 7-day passes for unlimited rides we really got our money's worth!
As for the townhome itself, it is absolutely adorable. It was extremely clean, there were plenty of towels for everyone to use for the entire week, and the air-conditioner works great in every room. The beds are extremely comfortable and we felt like we had plenty of space even with 6 of us in the apartment. You can tell that Rebekah has put a lot of hard work and care into her place to make it so inviting.
Rebekah had great suggestions too of great eats and shops in the neighborhood. I'm telling you, after just one week, we all felt like we were locals. It was so much better staying at Rebekah's rather than staying at a hotel where we wouldn't have had the space to spread out and we wouldn't have had the chance to really get a feel for living in the city. Thanks again to Rebekah! She is a wonderful hostess and just as sweet as she can be.
