Manuel was a great host for our night stay in his apartment. My mom and I decided to come to town for a yoga workshop last minute and Manuel responded to my inquiry for booking the place within an hour. He also made it very convenient for us to pick up keys from his mother-in-law who was very sweet and showed us the apartment. Everything was well kept and the bed was comfy as we got a good nights rest. The street is a little busy until around midnight but nothing that can't be handled with some light music on. The apartment was spacious and had all the small amenities you would need i.e. pots and pans, extra towels, pull out couch. It was a $5 dollar cab or 20 min walk to Journal Square station.
