I spent 1 week with my 10yrs son in this house. They kept our private that's what I wanted. Neighbors were also quiet and we had good sleep every night. Very convenient and easy to get stations. It was fun to walk seeing beautiful buildings to Williamsburg area which is really cool place in Brooklyn.
I could not have a chance to see Joni during our stay actually, but she is definitely nice and I felt totally safe during whole stay in NY! I highly recommend her house!
