We were a family of 7 adults from Ireland on a week long visit to New York over new year. The house was roomy, warm, bright and comfortable. Plenty of room for us all to eat and socialise together and everything you need in a rental property.We could walk to the station in 20 minutes and get one of the frequent trains into Manhattan, arriving within an hour of leaving the house. We also experienced small town America in Valley Stream which had some lovely parks and open spaces as well as plenty of restaurants and shops.Ravi was super helpful, always coming back to us within minutes of our enquiries - not that we had any real issues. He was also kind enough to allow to a late check out on the day we were leaving.In all, if you are coming from out of town and want an affordable, accessible option for a large group to experience NYC, this is an excellent alternative to a Manhattan hotel.
