Perfect for a 12 person, NYC Thanksgiving vacation! Close to grocery stores, restaurants, bars, a park, history, and the subway. Elizabeth let us borrow a grocery cart to haul our turkey and ham back to the house and use the outdoor grill, it was a perfect setup for the group! She was also very responsive and accommodating when my work extended our stay.
Plenty of linens, bed options, towels, and a fully stocked kitchen. There was a nice folder with instructions and all sorts of goodies. A very pleasant surprise after fighting through crowds.
The 2/3 train was very quick to all that NYC has to offer, so don't let the distance to Lower Manhattan put you off.
