Our stay with Juan and April was very lovely. They were such welcoming and warm couple that made us felt like home right the very first day we spent at their house. We had our own space, which was made up from the living room and separated by a curtain. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our own privacy and never was bothered by the host family during our sleep even when they woke up far earlier than we did every day. There is also a bonus such as the short distance needed to travel from their to Time Square. All you gotta do is hop on the bus and you'll be at the 42nd street after 30 minutes. The price of a trip by commute bus makes up for the high price of staying in the middle of Manhattan or Brooklyn. However, the only inconvenience is that you have to bring your laundry to the store nearby to wash them.
