We stayed here for an 11-day vacation and it was an amazing experience! We visited Manhattan every day. The house is about a 15-minute walk to the nearest subway station but you can also take the bus to the station. We ended up walking there whenever the weather was good and it wasn't a bad walk at all. There is a small shopping district around the station that has lovely restaurants and bakeries. We highly recommend stopping by Prince Tea House and trying their fresh tea and souffles. The closest routes that Google Maps points you in either walks you through a high-end neighborhood or past a police precinct so it is very safe.
The room itself was very accommodating and clean with nearly everything you would need. For New York, it is a considerable amount of space. There is also a nice seating area outside in their yard! We ended up watching the eclipse there.
Sunil and their family are so nice and sweet! The first time I contacted them was to ask for a plunger and they accommodated immediately. On our last day, we asked if they would let us leave our luggage with them until our flight and they set up a place for our luggage. They even offered us coffee and a chocolate croissant!
As a bonus, the house is amazingly close to a Dunkin Donuts and a small market and we loved grabbing breakfast or midnight snacks there. Despite being semi-close to the main street the neighborhood was wonderfully quiet as well. Overall my friend and I loved our stay there. And if we ever came back to visit we would definitely choose this place again!
