Elisabeth was a dream to work with. I had to make changes prior to arrivals and had an issue with airbnb and she got it resolved. She was also willing to work with us and help us in many different areas. Her brother ben was also very helpful during check in and during the stay. He gave us a bouquet of roses and also got my dad a birthday cake since we were traveling for his 70th. Above and beyond and we super appreciated the geature. The house ia close to bus and subway. Returning home 103rd subway stop is 2 blocks and a hill up. 96th subway stop is 5 blocks going down a slight decline. Bus option at 102 and 100th street. On the other side of the train tracks also have bus service on 101 and 102. I suggest downloading nyc transit app it's awesome and plots out all metro travel for you. Public transit was convenient and the best option in nyc. The pizza place at the end of the street had fantastic meals with reasonable prices. The house can get really warm on the 3rd floor so i would suggest leaving the air systems on. We were there when it was in the 90s and humidity was that high as well. Note the stairs are narrowish and have carpet so it can be a lil slippery with socks. The rooms are pretty big so tons of space. The basement has the laundry and thats another set of stairs. Just giving a heads up for those with knee problems. Aside from that a lot of character and many modern upgrades. Ben helped with luggage hold on our last day since our flight was late in the evening. This is a great place to stay.
