8/10 Good

Spacious, Clean Home in desirable neighborhood,.

My family and I spent a month at this location and found that the pictures and details on the internet were right on. We marveled at the convenience of the house and how well equipped the kitchen was. The house was spacious, clean, and near wonderful eating places that were family friendly. It was also near public transportation to New York City. Needless to say, we took advantage of this feature and went to the theatre more than once. I would highly recommend this property. The owner was friendly and responsible and was readily available in the event we needed to get in touch with her.
