Miriam and her house are both gems. She communicated clearly and quickly and always led with generosity, accommodating our late departure and our request to hold our 50th anniversary party there. When we had concerns, she addressed them immediately. She was so respectful of our privacy, truly making us feel that the home was ours for the week.
The lovely brownstone had ample room for all 11 members of our family—both private space and gathering space. We often congregated around the dining table and kitchen peninsula, where all of us at once had comfortable seating. The kitchen is spectacular! Large, modern, and very well stocked. Thoughtful touches abound (guidebooks, books, games, puzzles, paper products, cold water in the refrigerator, umbrellas) and the house was sparkling clean. The beds were comfy and the whole house truly charming. The location, as others have noted, is great with tree-lined streets, convenience to neighborhood shops and restaurants, and a short walk to the subway.
We are most grateful to Miriam for her hospitality and warmth, for her vital part in making our family New York experience wonderful. Highly recommended!
