We enjoyed the stay a lot. Orestes and Chris are really nice guys and help with info wherever they can. Several train and metrolines are just around the corner so it is very easy to go to manhattan or to discover queens, williamsburgh, brooklyn ..... The house is perfectly renovated and the room with seperate bathroom is perfect for recovering from intense city tours. Around the corner are restaurants and bars but you have to know a bit where to look for it ( try court sqare diner, john brown bbq, also a nice thai at court square)
