We arrived abt an hour late and Ed was in the house waiting for us. Our initial impression on arrival was that the neighborhood could be rough. Ed immediately assured us he has never had any incident for over 10yrs he owned the property. We stayed for 10days and we really didn't have any serious incident. Ed was kind and generous enough to get us breakfast the next day. That was very helpful. The house is very comfortable with practically everything you need in there. The cable TV package in the house spiced up our visit that we didn't miss any of our sports while away. There is a parking slot for the rental car we got and this is a plus for the property. Only one day I had to park on the street when a visitor of one of the occupants upstairs ignored my appeal to move his car out of the drive way. I felt it was not worth the confrontation since he and his lady host were looking for one. I will definitely recommend the property. The host was great, the house was great too. The neighbourhood a little dodgy but if your are busy you might not notice. Two train stations are close by the house meaning you can easily get around with public transportation. Enjoy your stay in the house it's nice and cosy. Be alert when out its NYC anyway what do you expect. Thanks Ed for being a very good host.
