John and Simone (and Lucy) were great hosts. They are there if you need them, but give you your own space and privacy. The accommodation is spacious and clean. Big enough for two couples or a family with fridge freezer,hot plate, small oven,kettle and microwave. There is a supermarket round the corner and the accommodation has easy access to public transport. Also mid Central Park is literally at the top of the Street! Much better than a hotel - far enough from the hullabaloo of Central Manhattan in a local, friendly neighbourhood but near enough if you want to visit the sites,-and much cheaper! Highly recommended!
