Heads up about parking: The spots out front have a strict 2-hour limit. You will get ticketed if you stay all day—fines are 26. That said, some may consider it worth the cost to park right in front.Temperature issues: The third-floor bedrooms get very warm. While we were cold on the first floor, those upstairs were sweating. No fans were provided, so we bought some. If possible, bring your own to help circulate air. Also, the beds seem more like full-size rather than queen. Each room has a lock that automatically engages when the door closes. We couldn't find any instructions or codes, so we were careful not to let doors shut if the room was unoccupied.Noise alert: On Friday night, there was a live band playing in the backyard of the neighboring property. This might have been a one-off event, but the backyard looks set up for gatherings—tables, chairs, etc. The music was loud and could be heard throughout the house until about 3:00 a.m.The good stuff: The home itself is beautiful and nicely updated inside. Each floor has a bathroom, which is nice. The showers were excellent and there is ample hot water. We had plenty of towels for our group of nine. The seating was cozy, and the swizzle chairs were a hit. Plus, the walk to the subway was quick and easy. Lyfts were inexpensive and short drives. The neighbors were very nice. We would stay here again, even with the items listed above. Dalessandros for cheesesteaks! Worth the drive.
