Manuel's duplex was exactly what we were looking for: Quiet, well located between some great neighborhoods, and with lots of space for packing/unpacking, cooking, etc. It was a terrific value, gave us access to laundry (though you need to go to a store down the street to get the laundry token) and a small pool on the roof, and had security. We felt right at home, and enjoyed hanging out on the porch on the warm January days. Plus, Manuel helped rescue us when our airport taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong address. It's a great place for a couple or a small family with the 2 bathrooms. You'll feel right at home with the subway just a block away, and restaurants and great ice cream just a few blocks away. You'll really enjoy this place!
