Great time staying in Olivia and John's house (2 of us stayed 10 days in Sep). Perfectly set up and everything worked great - good pressure on shower, decent air-con, comfortable bed. Didn't use the kitchen at all, so can't comment on that. It's really quiet at night, which surprised me. Good location - could walk to a lot of decent restaurants and bars. Heaps of cabs on the doorstep. We rented bicycles through John, which was cheaper than other options and decent bikes too. Yes, it's small, but it's NY and for 2 was fine. You could easily relax inside and out in the courtyard if for whatever reason you were staying in! Would recommend.
