I stayed at Miriam's place in January because it was near where my brother was in rehab. Everything I wrote then applies again including that Miriam made us feel at home. This time my wife came with me and everything worked just as well. We stayed this time because a nearby subway went north to part of family with no changes; and a different nearby subway went south to rest of family. Quiet street; lovely neighborhood; down the block watched the NY Marathon for a couple of hours with large crowds continuously cheering. Variety of good restaurants within walking distance.
