Four of us came to NYC for the Belmont Stakes. Greg's agent, Lex, was in constant contact with me, and made check-in an absolute breeze. The location is really good, partly because of the 1/2 block to the Halsey St J Train stop, and partly because there are good places to eat and drink close by. It took use three days to find the good spots though; I would recommend to Greg and Lex that they leave a notebook where guests can write down their recommendations for food/drink/fun. The flat layout is great for groups traveling together, in that there is a well-furnished living room which is on the ground floor, so you don't have to worry so much about conversational noise bothering the upstairs tenants (you are the upstairs tenants; the bedrooms are on the first floor). There is also a SWEET back patio with furniture which has great for late night debriefing. The place was clean, well-furnished, nice kitchen, two true full baths, etc....
So here's the one bad thing, but it was pretty bad: noise. The noise from the people upstairs was awful. It sounded like they were playing polo up there from about midnight to 4 AM two out of the three nights. And I don't think they were probably unreasonably loud; I just think this old home is so poorly insulated and noise-proofed that even routine activity is thunderous downstairs. The noise didn't just bother me; my traveling companions wanted to make sure I included this concern on my review. The noise couldn't be canceled with noise-canceling headphones AND a window air conditioner. So if you are even a moderately light sleeper, or if upstairs noise is likely to bother you, you might want to look elsewhere.
We met the people staying upstairs by the way; they were really nice.
Thanks, Greg, for a mostly fantastic stay.
