We stayed for 4 nights with 3 adult teenagers visiting NYC and found Floyd very helpful with excellent recommendations for local places to eat.
There’s one double room overlooking the street with wooden shutters. The other bedroom overlooking the back of house has a smaller double room, with a single bedroom off the back of it. All had hanging space.
The we had arranged for an additional mattress as the single adults each needed their own bed.
It was a great double height air bed but please note, whilst it was adequate for a teenager, after the 1st night the novelty had worn off and a rotation deal was struck up so nobody had it more than 2 nights in succession! I’m sure it would be fine for a child or just a night or two. But after that your back and ribs ache too much the next day and you don’t sleep a full night.
It’s a single air bed that’s double height so it’s almost the height of a bed, which is great, but makes it a bit wobbly to sleep on 😊 and no air bed can get through an entire night without sinking in the middle a bit ! 😂
We were grateful to have their kitchen in the basement to cook our breakfast and dinner when we didn’t eat out. Floyd gave us a shelf in their fridge to store food and the dry food we could leave out on the side.
Nice outside space at the back to sit in, and armchairs in each bedroom if you want to be anywhere other than the kitchen to read or chat.
Close to Central Park so we hired bikes one day and went for a ride around it. I walked through it a couple of mornings when jet lag had me awake at sunrise. The open fresh green space is a wonderful contrast to the often busy NY streets.
Carmines nearby was a superb eating experience recommended by Floyd. Don’t be put off by the prices. 2 pasta dishes fed 5 of us with an enormous box of leftovers.
Birch coffee around the corner has great coffee but also shelves of books you can read and take away if you’re looking for a new book.
Trader Joes and Wholefoods are both 2 blocks away for food and provisions.
Subway is nearby so that made getting around easy.
Thanks
