Jim's place was perfect, felt like home :). He is the perfect host, you can ask him tips about hidden jewels of NY, he always has the answers. The accomodation has everything we needed (in a 7 day vacation).
Silent family neighborhood with at least 2 craft breweries (I strongly recommend Rockaway Brewery) and several nice places to eat (for burgers, Bareburger; Bellwether and Woodbines for great meals and late snacks).
It is also very close (one 7 train stop away) to Manhattan fun.
Thanks for everything, Jim and you'll be highly reccommended :).
