We really liked the house, comfortable rooms, and the nearby grocery store and liquor store. I'd also like to highlight the ease of getting to NYC. The bus stop is close to the house, and the ease of returning from NYC. The bus drops you off right at the door.
We aren't a super picky group so overall the place served its purpose to keep 7 people under one roof and at a reasonable price. The stay was fine. Pros- -Decent location, you can get to coffee shops, trains and markets with a short walk. Close to a park and train stations. -Air conditioners work. -Beds were extremely comfortable. -House price is good for multiple nights but it is a no-frills stay with decent decor and basic essentials. Cons- -Outside looks rough, not a well kept home from the outside, and its on a busy street. -There was random trash in front of the property and trash cans are right in front. -Steps are wooden and worn.- Inside Covers were on both sofas and the pots and pans were found in the stove. We did have ALL the alarms go off when we used the showers and they continued into the evening. Had to message the owner and she instructed us to remove all of the fire alarms because it was late at night. She communicated well and even called just not the best of circumstances the night before a race with an early morning. Would help if there was a rules book to help make sure we got everying back as it needed to be. No extra trash bags could be found and no tissue.(Super minor but these are the little things)Aesthetically lots of things could be improved. Would I stay here again? Honestly, not sure.
We stayed here over a long weekend with family. The place was big enough for everyone to have their space. The neighborhood was fantastic with parks for kids close by and shops for food etc. We would definitely stay again.
Layout and size was good for a family of 8. Linens some kitchen essentials were nothing fancy but served the purpose for a short stay. Would definitely rent again.
