Xmas 2017 in NY was the aim for the seven of us, and it was fantastic to stay at Tina's place. The central heating was wonderful (as temperatures plummted to VERY cold outside), three toilets and two showers were heaven, and the access to Whole Foods for supplies and the Metro made our stay for a week a success. So nice to have some basics in the cupboards on arrival, and all the comforts of home including plenty of towels/blankets/pillows. We are not used to stairs, so just remember the home is on three levels if you have very young ones or elderly.
Our first visit to NY, and would definitely recommend Tina's as a place to stay for much better value than central or lower Manhattan. Part of our trip was the experience of the NY Metro - which is great in our view for value US$33 unlimited for a week and access from Tina's.
