Luis place is absolutely as cozy as advertised and he is a superb host. It's located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. We stayed 2 nights. Luis generously allowed us to park at the end of the private driveway for the duration of our visit. Check-in was easy, the key is in a coded lockbox, with security cameras & lights (which helped us feel secure). The space was immaculately clean and cleverly designed. Very welcoming. The host left some snacks and beverages in the fridge, a welcome touch after a long multi-hour drive.
There is a 24hr Pharmacy up the street, perfect for snacks and delivery pizza chain available until 2am. As well as plenty of other restaurants & grocery options a short walk from the doorstep.
We were able to easily catch an express bus into Manhattan only 3-4 blocks away.
The first night the outside temps dropped to 30°F but we wouldn't have known we were nice and cozy in the cottage! If we visit NYC again we will def try to book with Luis.
