We really enjoyed our stay at Kenia and Rodrigo's place! They were great with communication ahead of time, and Kenia met us at the apartment for our arrival to show us around and answer our questions.
The location is awesome for being able to get into New York City while paying a much more affordable price. We walked about a block each day to catch the 51 bus to the Port Authority Bus Terminal near Times Square, and it was just $3.25 each way with buses arriving every few minutes. We had a car as well and easily made our way to Met Life Stadium for a football game and also back to the Newark airport.
Our only trouble came with parking. Spots can easily be found during the day but as evening goes on it can be a challenge. Be sure to very carefully read every sign you can find with parking times, street cleaning schedules, bus only parking, etc. We got 2 parking tickets unfortunately, but we just should have checked more thoroughly as we weren't used to so many parking restrictions. Totally our fault.
Kenia and Rodrigo are great hosts who added nice personal touches. The apartment is comfortable and very spacious for 2 people. The neighborhood has everything you need and the hosts provide take out/delivery menus for nearby restaurants if you want to just stay in.
We hope to visit again!
