Carmen was an amazing host. She was there to welcome us as we arrived early in the morning. She accommodated us by letting is leave our bags in her apartment (she lives in the building) while the apartment was being cleaned. It is definitely a haul up those stairs to the 3rd floor so please note that as you choose, but as a New Yorker it wasn’t an issue. The apartment is in a lovely location and has a 24 bodega right across the street (conveniently selling wine). We had a lovely time and hope to return!
