We live on the corner of a lively intersection in Manhattan. 2 short blocks from the 1train subway and walking distance to many restaurants, convenience stores and 5 different bus lines. The subway will bring you to Times Square in 15 minutes which is the hub of tourist activity. Travel time from the airport will be determined by what mode you choose, however, you will be able to get here from the 3 major airports within 30 minutes to 1. 5 hours depending on traffic, airport, and mode of transport. We are a busy family of 4. Pablo is a swim coach and Sarah is a teacher of English as a foreign language and of composition. Melodie and Sophie are both busy college students with academic, social, and sports interests. We all enjoy swimming and biking. The girls were born in 2000 and 20003 and enjoy visitors from all over the world. Please plan to arrive at our home by 9 p.m. as we tend to retire for the evening by 10. Thanks! (We do keep the Sabbath hours, so please do not contact me on Friday evenings or Saturdays (EST) because I am offline and will not respond in time. Thanks!)
