We (parents and 9-year-old) stayed for the weekend. Subway is very close. 20min/half hour to lower Manhattan. Looks exactly as described by the owner. Clean and private upstairs. Street side view, on the other side: backyard view. Shared living room and kitchen downstairs. Christine is very open and friendly. She looked after our daughter in the evening for a very reasonable price and it was not a problem at all. She is very easygoing and helpful.
