I stayed here for New Years Eve and it was a much better alternative to spending $$ in a hotel! The subway was only a couple blocks away and I felt very safe walking to and from the subway. The entire family was very nice and welcoming! Mary and her oldest daughter were very helpful. Her oldest daughter took me to and showed me how to navigate the metro, gave some ideas on what to do on NYE and how to get there, and put out breakfast in the morning. The house was clean and quiet, and Mary had made soup so it smelt delicious as soon as I walked in! I felt like I had a lot of privacy and slept well on the bed - and I'm a pretty picky sleeper. I would definitely stay there again!
