This property is nice and we have stayed in a number of houses within this neighborhood. The one thing that frustrated us, is that we specifically selected this place for it not only accommodated the large party we had celebrating my birthday... be we had a # of kids and the indoor pool was going to be a big feature. The weather when we were traveling was not going to be great, and since these NYC kids don't always have a pool readily available... it was going to help a lot. Needless to say, when we arrived the pool house was being renovated to some degree. It was fully locked down and we had no access to the pool or jacuzzi. When notifying the owner, the only reply was... "well you can check out and into a hotel with a pool." That was very annoying and unhelpful. To not even offer a slight reduction in the costs or even sympathy was frustrating. The idea of moving 10 people from a house to find a hotel is not a reasonable response. And the work that was being done to the pool had to have been communicated to all homeowners. If we were aware of that from the beginning, it would have played a part on where we stayed.
