WHAT A WONDERFUL RENTAL!!!

We went to Long Island City to spend time with our 2 week old grandson. We wanted to be walking distance. There are fabulous restaurants, a great grocery with ready made food as well all withing blocks. I hosted Christmas dinner for my son, daughter-in-law the new baby and her family who had come in Christmas day. What a wonderful memory for all of us. The house was exquisite but very comfortable and the library available was delightful. There is a gorgeous and extensive river front park, MOMA PS1(a very avant garde art museum), wonderful little walking neighborhoods, basketball/soccer/track facilities, and a couple of spas all within 2-3 blocks. The subway was very close (2 blocks) to pop into Manhattan. I would absolutely recommend this property. There are 3 floors so you can also "get away" from each other if one needs space. I am looking forward to returning in the warmer weather when I can take advantage of the fabulous courtyard.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car.

It really does not get better than this....... The description is absolutely accurate; the owners display great integrity and clarity in the booking process (a must for O/S travellers to NY; the location is unbeatable in access to Manhattan and the charm and amenities in the 'hood. That is just the start. The "tricky" exercise of booking sublet NY apartments is a nightmare of vagaries when you are parting with large amounts of cash.We thought we had secured one;handed over the money for it to 'fall over' resulting in money lost (with the international transaction fees) and Christmas accommodation needs back to square one. Our party was five adults coming from around the globe to spend time together over the 2010 Christmas period. This house was perfectly designed for our needs. Plenty of room so we were never falling over each other. Beautiful appointments throughout and a library I would have loved to read my through. From our subway stop a couple of minutes walk at Vernon Jackson Boulevard the route to Manhattan was Grand Central, 5th Avenue,Times Square on the 7 line. From any of those stops the travel possibilites criss-crossing the island are endless. The G line Brooklyn/Queens crosstown took us down into all Brooklyn has to offer & again great connections further afield. I would particularly recommend this to adult families/groups; inter-generational families; as the three levels allow for privacy and retreats from one another which over an extended holiday time can be necessary! Fabulous grocery/wine/beer/deli shopping minutes walk from the house; many & varied very good restaurants/bars so close you really tend not to roam too far. We will be back. Probably will never have the white Christmas of 2010 again but in any season this would be my perfect home away from home.
