WOW! This was our first time in the big city, and we were apprehensive about what it would be like. But no worries here. The house is spacious and very well kept, in a nice neighborhood. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable, even the "cube" foldout bed (what a clever item...I need one!) The bathrooms provided great water pressure (I didn't expect this for some reason). Be aware that the bedrooms are at ground level, but this was not an issue. It felt safe and there wasn't much road noise.
Tim was extremely good with communication and so helpful with advice on subway, etc. The house is less than one block from a subway station that makes most any connection you would need.
The decor is fun, midcentury and artsy. Lots of interesting things to look at, games to play, and a projector instead of TV. The kitchen is gorgeous, only things I would say about that are 1) there's no microwave, which is fine, but be aware if you're used to having one and 2) there isn't a regular coffee maker, but a very nice espresso machine that I was afraid to touch, although he provided excellent detailed instructions.
We loved walking and riding the subways everywhere, didn't touch our car while we were staying. It was pretty easy to find parking within one block of the house (we arrived on a Wednesday night). If you are lucky enough to be finding Tim's place available for your dates, BOOK NOW!! It is an amazing value.
