We are a family of four who have just enjoyed a great half-term week in New York staying at Joanna's lovely old house. Joanna was an excellent host, with prompt and helpful correspondence and provided us with useful local information. The house itself is amazing - great character, loads of space, with a bohemian, arty feel to it. The location is excellent - it felt very safe walking around at night and there are lots of bars, restaurants and shops within close walking distance. It's about 5 minutes walk from Union Square (where the old guys play chess), and that was the subway station we used the most. Thank you Joanna for a memorable stay!
