I've just come back in Italy after 10 days spent with my boy-friend in Vernon and Dawn's place, and it was great! They are extremely kind and their house is well furnished and provided. Everything is perfectly clean and working. Also the bathroom is perfect, with a large and comfortable shower. Well, everything is perfect in their house, I have to say! What's more, they live upstairs, so if you have any problem they are very kind and they can help you. Last but not least, the neighborhood is really quiet and nice! There are many shops, deli and places where you can take away.
The transport is easy, there are 3 metro lines near the house and 2 a bit further and they take you to every part of Manhattan in half an hour.
So what else can I say? Choose this place for your vacation, I would choose it again and again.
