We had a wonderful time at Francis' place! The house was really perfect and is as depicted. It has lots of space and light, is situated in a quiet neighbourhood and we loved hearing the birds sing in the morning.
We felt safe in the area and the subway is not even a 5 min walk and it only takes 15 min to reach Manhattan.
Francis is a very good host: easy going, friendly, full of stories and very helpful. We would love to come back some time!
