My friends Anne and Fiona and I, ladies in our 60s, were privileged to stay in a true family home with original artefacts in an ideal location for accessing the city and Central Park. Jenny, Emily's daughter is an incredible host who patiently sorted out our ticket problem for the Yankees baseball game. It was impossible for us to download the app for Ticketmaster in the US nor was it possible to have the tickets emailed. So we would advise guests to order tickets on arrival in the US for physical pick up. Jenny also had to rescue us with regard to ordering transport for our return journey to the airport. More tech savvy guests would probably manage better than us. The journey from the airport was easy: queue for a yellow cab with flat fare to Manhattan and pay a little more for taxes, congestion and a tip. The weekly pass for the subway is excellent value at $33 and we felt safe at all times, although men sometimes work their way through the carriages telling stories of their difficulties and requesting cash. One lady gave a choclate bar, but everyone else averted eye contact and there was no problem. We loved Bella Luna restaurant at the end of the road, and bought groceries at the supermarket near 86th street. We highly recommend Emily's place.
