I can't add that much to all the excellent comments Amy’s house already gathered. By end of July 2013, we stayed one week in the house, we were ten persons including 6 kids from various ages. We all enjoyed to stay here for different reasons (location, air conditioning, number of bathrooms, large kitchen, BBQ, garden, Pac Man, Piano, clean, etc…). During the week, the temperature in New York was incredibly high. I don’t believe we would have find best oasis so close to Manhattan. The house clearly contributed to the great time we spent in New York during our holidays. We strongly recommend !!!
