Emily's place is perfectly located to transportation, the park and fantastic restaurants all within walking distance. We communicated for the most part with Emily's daughter Jenny who was a fantastic host. We were visiting NYC for our son's MFA graduation from Columbia and Jenny had terrific suggestions for restaurants nearby which we took advantage of. Kirsch, only a block away was a great spot for breakfast. We also tried Maison Pickle about three blocks away, also very good. The 86th St Subway station is 3 blocks away to catch the 1 train to go up or down Manhattan. Central Park is an easy walk with ready access to the Met and other museums. Their 1890's brownstone is amazingly original in character, with beautiful wood finishes. Jenny made sure we had all the right amenities for our stay including fresh gluten free sconces and Kind bars for our arrival. As hosts ourselves we really appreciate when others do it right. Thanks Jenny and Emily for such a great time.
