This home is beautiful and Halle has all the basics covered as well as a few thoughtful extras. Check-in was a breeze. We always felt safe and commute into Manhattan was easy via the Subway station which is a short walk away. The steps are steep leading into the home which may be a issue for some. You can hear the host family and their furbaby in their home above, however by 10:00pm each evening the home is as quiet as can be. We enjoyed a few restaurants close by.
