Our crew thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Some positives: location and getting to watch barges on the river, trains, and Christmas lights from Coney Island. We have stayed in a lot of different places in 11 years and this was one of the most well-supplied homes with bottled water, fully stocked kitchen with lots of extras, plenty of linens and towels, shampoo, soap, blow dryer, etc. The owner left a bottle of wine as a gift--nice touch! Beds were comfortable but would like better pillows. With basement bunkbeds, we were easily able to sleep our group of 15. Heat, hot water, TVs worked great. Two disappointments: the range hood in kitchen would not work and we needed the lighting and vent fan when we were making meals. We also were not able to use the fireplace even though firewood was readily provided (there is also a firepit on roomy back porch). The sunken living area off the kitchen is a neat room but needs freshened up (better lighting and newer seating). Overall we were comfortable, felt secure, and liked the home for our annual get-together.
