The house is very comfortable and has everything what we need for a great stay in New York. We arrived late in the evening, but felt very safe in the neighbourhood. Also the offers of shops for the daily need and the subway were pretty close. Linda and her family weren't at home when we were there, but Linda was always reachable and helped us via mail if we had any questions. It was really worth it and made us a great home while we stayed in New York. :)
