We had a great New York experience at Francesca's very spacious Brownstone. Staying in her quiet, residential neighborhood was a very nice change from staying in a hotel. Her house is half a block from Central Park and less than a block from Trader Joe's. The subway stops were a short, pleasant walk away. Francesca gave us great information about restaurants and points of interest. Whenever we had a question, she was very responsive. We truly hated to leave and would love to make a return visit sometime.
