We came to New York with my dad and stepmother, and my two children ages 2 and 6 for a few days after Christmas. Jen was a great host and answered my many questions in advance and during the stay. The neighborhood is terrific as a haven away from touristy spots, and on a relatively quiet street despiteeasy access to the Holland tunnel and Canal street station.
The layout of this apartment was ideal for a trip with extended family—my dad and stepmother took the master suite, which is beautifully decorated and spacious with an amazing bathroom. We were downstairs with our kids. The downstairs is a playroom, full bathroom, and two bedrooms. That playroom was a lifesaver at the end of a busy day with two little ones when the temps were near zero. Jen (and her kids!) generously let my girls play with all their toys. My littlest loved it so much she threw a major fit when it was time to leave :)
If you’re traveling to the city with kids, this is really the perfect location and rental. Thank you Jen and family for everything!!
