Overall, we really enjoyed staying in Alonso's apartment! We especially liked the roof-top garden! And, we enjoyed watching the dogs playing, in the nearby park. Its close proximity to the WTC and the Dakota Plaza is a real plus, with all the restaurants, shops, a big grocery store, and a gym to work-out in. We were also glad that the apartment had a toaster oven, and not just a microwave. Although the apartment doesn't have central heat or A/C (as most in the area don't), there was a space heater and a fan, which really helped. And the black-out blinds, in the bedrooms, were a plus. Bertha was very accommodating, whenever we needed something. Alonso allowed us to leave a suitcase, with Bertha, in between stays. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with fruit, snacks, cokes, and bottled water. We stayed in the apartment 3 different times, while traveling in Mexico. Each time we returned to the apartment, we saw improvements. We are very happy with this apartment, and would look forward to staying again, on future visits! :)
